Itinerary:

UPDATED:  The boardwalk area around Mansell Road is being worked on.  So we will start at the Marconi Road entrance.  The bathrooms at the Y should be open.  And we make do a spin towards Union Hill, if there is time.

This is a beginner biking event (training wheels allowed).  The pace will be around 8 to 10 mph.  Let's just get our bikes going and see where we end up after 2.5 hours.  If it is 16 miles fine; but I'm okay if it is 12 miles ;)

The address of the starting/ending point is Marconi Road

E-bikes are welcome to join!

No bathrooms at this place, but there are restrooms along the way.

This is an in/out bike.

There may be bike traffic, let's stay on our side of the walk ;)

No lunch, but snacks are highly encouraged.
