Our theme this year is "Somerville: City of Seven (Or More) Hills".<br>We'll meet at 10 am at Seven Hills Park (behind the Holland Street T entrance in Davis Square), leaving promptly at 10:15.<br><br>Our ride will be approximately 11 miles, and visit each of Somerville's hills, both those that still exist and those that have been removed. Riders should wear helmets and be prepared for hill climbs and descents. We will make brief stops at the tops of most hills so that riders stay together as a group, but we won't have extended history lectures or speeches.<br><br>The Somerville Police will escort the ride on bicycles, and Redbones will provide refreshments at the halfway point.<br><br>For more info (and a list of hills), visit <a href="http://somervillebikes.org/events.html">http://somervillebikes.org/events.html</a> .<br>A route map is at <a href="http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/312795">http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/312795</a> , and a cue sheet at <a href="http://www.bikely.com/cuesheet/route/312795">http://www.bikely.com/cuesheet/route/312795</a> .<br><br>If it rains, we'll try again the next day, same time and location.<div><br></div></body></html>
