tuesday night walnut creek park mtb ride

Sprint to catch them, and often ride side by side interviewing as we ride. I’ll sprint ahead and get shots of riders approaching. Normally, I’m on my electric assist bike, riding in the pack filming. Some in large bunches, some in smaller groups came at me. Around 10:30 AM the fun began.Ī steady flow. A few minuets later, three more early start rides approaches. She was doing the 50 mile ride but left the start point 90 minutes before the designated time. I set up at around 9 AM and waited…….at 9:30 a rider approached. I was asked to be a turn guide.įor four hours, I found myself standing on a sidewalk, fifty miles from the end of the ride, (but a mere 4 miles from my home), tasked to point as riders approached and yell, “TURN RIGHT”. This year however, Velofix, a mobile bike shop, and Yesteryear, a local bike shop, took over that task. My job was to drive my car near the back of the pack and offer maintenance or if needed, transport a rider. Participants had options of 100, 75 or 35 miles. Today was the annual Ride For Clean Water sponsored by the Buzzards Bay Coalition.

If our timing is spot on, we will visit Palmer’s Island at low tide allowing anyone who wishes, to walk onto the island for a short walk around before our casual ride back to Fairhaven or Mattapoisett.īe sure to bring your camera. There we will continue on a shared road to the south end, where Palmer’s Lighthouse marks the start of the Covewalk or Saulnier Memorial Bike Trail. The rest of us will return to the Phoenix Rail Trail and ride through quiet seaside neighborhoods taking us to a biking friendly bridge to the New Bedford historic waterfront and fishing piers. After a short visit we will return to Staples in Fairhaven with 14 miles completed. We will ride to Mattapoisett and visit Ned’s Point Lighthouse. Join local New Bedford historian and expert biker John Sullivan, from Ned’s Point Lighthouse in Mattapoisett to Palmer’s Island Lighthouse in New Bedford for a 14 or 24 mile ride.
