65 Miles for Jessica's 65th Birthday
|
My actual route from Map My Ride |
Every five years, I ride my age in miles to check out progress on building Metro Boston's infrastructure
This year, I turned 65, so I enlarged my loop around the city, discovered some new projects
and checked out the routes of some others that don't exist on the ground yet. As always, I started
at the highest point in Boston, Bellevue Hill, the top of the Stony Brook watershed, and followed
the Stony Brook Reservation bike path to Mother Brook, then the Neponset Trail to its northern end,
including a not-yet-opened portion, the Harborpath to Sullivan Square in Charlestown, with a detour
to Cambridge to see some friends receive a design grant from Livable Streets,paths along the Mystic
in Somerville and Medford, Alewife Brook to Belmont, a cycle track and the Fresh Pond bike path to
the start of the future Watertown Path, then some bushwacking to the existing part of the trail in
Watertown, a current and future cycle track to Watertown Square, the Upper Charles Reservation path
through Waltham, including a new boardwalk to Moody St., streets through Newton (because I lost the path),
dirt paths through Brook Farm Historic Site, Millenium Park, then streets along Mother Brook, and
the West Boundary Road (some paved and unpaved path) to Washington St. and the top of the hill. It
took all day because of lots of stops and photos.
Thanks to Lee Toma for joining me on much of the Neponset Trail.
