In association with Biking Together Waltham, we present: 

Waltham Family Bike Ride

Saturday April 26th, 2025, 9:45AM, gather at Glacken Park, Cambridge

A 7 mile ride to the Sheepshearing Festival at Gore Place Waltham from Glacken Park Cambridge via Huron protected bike lanes, Watertown Greenway, Charles River Paths and small amount of sidewalk and calm street riding.  Will take up most of the day (9AM-~4PM).  Ride is too long for emerging self propelled riders.  Attendees are responsible for their costs of the day, which are $20 admittance for those age 13 and older (12 and younger free) and whatever food your purchase at the festival.
