Tour de Charles

Hi, all! Matt and I are organizing another easy ride to commemorate the move to E62. This one will be an easy, flat, 16m round-trip ride up and down the Charles River. Feel free to only join us for part of the ride and drop off when most convenient for you to get home. Current weather predictions do not show any rain for the afternoon.

We’ll meet at 5pm on Tues, August 3rd in the E62 plaza on Main Street side. A few of us will be modeling options for a Sloan Riders jersey, so come check it out! Although rain is predicted, we will still head out (unless it is really heavy rain or lightning)

Email me back if you want us to wait for you; o/w just show up on time.

Also, I am organizing a Sloan Riders group for Hub on Wheels

here's the group for Tour de Charles (Pai-Ling, Michael, Matt):
