发帖数: 164 | 1 8/18: Biking Rhode Island + Water Fire
There are two parts and you may participate in one or both:
Part 1: Biking Rhode Island
When: 8/18 8:30 AM (leaving Boston)
The path is East bay Biking Path (EBBP) at Providence, RI
http://www.dot.ri.gov/bikeri/east_bay_bike_path.a
The East Bay Bike Path is the first multi-town bike path built in Rhode
Island. The bikeway travels 14.5 miles from India Point Park in Providence
to Independence Park in Bristol. The path connects neighborhoods, schools
and business districts and is a popular route for cyclists who commute to
work in Providence by bike.
The path also connects eight parks including India Point Park in Providence,
Bold Point and Squantum Woods in East Providence, Haines and Veterans
Memorial Park in Barrington, Burr’s Hill Park in Warren, and Colt State
Park and Independence Park in Bristol.
The path follows the former Providence and Bristol Railroad and is mostly
flat, with the exception of a large hill as the path switches from an
alignment alongside Veterans Memorial Parkway in East Providence to the
former rail right-of-way.
13 miles one way, 26 miles total.
You need rent a bike if you don't have one. It is $25 for one day for
a group less than 40. Or $20 for more than 40 people. Since we have to
return the bike by 5 PM, we have to start early so we got enough time to
enjoy the view and explorethem.
