2008 Tour de Somerville: Somerville's Outer Limits by Bike, Saturday Oct 18

More than 100 bicyclists, the largest group in 16 years, joined the Somerville Bicycle Committee for the 16th Annual Tour de Somerville.

We traced the entire boundary of our city, from leafy Alewife Brook and Tufts University to gritty Assembly Square, Inner Belt, and Boynton Yards, crossing over into neighboring Cambridge, Arlington, Medford, and Charlestown, to see what the city limits look like from the other side. The ride was about 15 miles long, with a rest stop at the Somerville Boys and Girls Club's Blessing of the Bay boathouse on the Mystic River. Redbones provided refreshments at this stop.
