Bike Tour of Historic Watertown
On Saturday, June 23, at 10 AM, join with area cyclists and history enthusiasts for a Bike Tour of Historic Watertown, sponsored jointly by the Historical Society of Watertown and the Watertown Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee. The theme of this ride is the Charles River and its role in Watertown's history. Come out for a pleasant bike ride and learn some local history at the same time.

The ride starts in front of the historic Edmund Fowle House, 28 Marshall Street. It is approximately six miles in length, with ten stops along the route where a member of the Historical Society will provide commentary. The expected duration is approximately two hours.

All riders must wear helmets. Children under 12 years old must be in a child seat or trailer bike. The Watertown Police Department will be assisting with traffic. A limited number of water bottles will be provided as available.

The rain date is Sunday, June 24, 10 AM. If the weather is inclement on Saturday, visit http://watertownbikeped.org for the latest information. Send inquiries to watertown.bikeped@gmail.com.

This ride is made possible by a grant from the Watertown Community Foundation.
