Big Weekend Ahead For CommonWheels!!

The autumnal equinox was this week, but we’re charging full speed ahead on a fun calendar of events in the next month! We wanted to make the most of this great weather, so we’re going to have some socially distant rides and adventures! So without futher ado:

 

Firefly Forest Ride 

So first up, tomorrow, 9/25, we will be hosting a socially distant, mask required, 10 mile bike ride. We are meeting at 6:30pm at the location of our Saturday Open Shop at the Grove, the park across from Lower Allston Trader Joe’s. 

Many of you have ridden the Charles River bike path, but we wanted to share with you one of our favorite secrets right outside our doorstep. At nighttime riding this path westward becomes this wonderful calm ride through some beautiful woods.

We will be handing out bike lights and other forms of illumination, but we STRONG ENCOURAGE you bring your own lights if available. AllstonVelo and Landry’s both have plenty of lights for very affordable prices. We’re going to dress to light up night, and we strongly suggest you do too!

The route itself will be very manageable and easy, with our main stopping point at Moody Street in Waltham, where we will take a break and check out a really cool Livable Streets implementation before our return voyage on the other side of the river. We look forward to having a magical time and getting to see one of Boston’s coolest nighttime treasures.

Volunteer On Boarding/Open Shop Rescheduled to Sunday

So with the Black Lives Matter IV ride happening Saturday afternoon we thought it would be important to encourage folks to attend, given the events of the week, and we’re moving both the Volunteer Onboarding and the Open shop to Sunday.

CommonWheels is looking for volunteers to help us with our new schedule, including rides, open shops, and opportunities to work with local youth, and we’d love to have your help!  Sunday we are encouraging folks who are interested in getting involved to join us either an hour before and an hour after our Open Shop for some talk about our mission and how we can work together to help our neighbors! As always, please consider donating to us if that’s more your speed!
We’re so excited to bring you folks some end of season events, and we’re looking forward to planning some more socially distant activities. We’re going to have quite the October planned for y’all so keep an eye on our website and facebook for the latest in CommonWheels goings on

safe riding, and hopefully see yall tomorrow!!
