July 2023: Tour de Spraygrounds! Sat 7/22 Meet 11am Mosaic Park

 What better way to beat the heat than enjoying Arlington's great SPRAYGROUNDS? We had so much fun last year, we're doing it again! 


We'll meet at Mosaic Park -- the sprayground is on the Quincy Street side of the park -- then ride through some nice neighborhood streets and a cemetery to get to Penrose Square, where there's another sprayground!  Come early to enjoy the spray -- we'll roll out around 11:15am. 

Don't forget the sunscreen and towel!

The route is fairly gentle, crossing major streets with lights or
stop signs (except Pershing, but the sightlines are good). This is an A to B ride, and the best route back is the way we get there.

After the ride, we're heading to William Jefferies Tavern on the Pike to enjoy lunch and watch the Tour de France (the penultimate, mountain stage, where the overall winner will be locked in!). Totally optional, but we'd love friends to join us!

Everyone is welcome on the ride, and we will go as slow as our slowest rider. The ride is best suited for elementary-aged kids, new riders (no training wheels or scooters) and those who are happy to go at a very casual pace.  It's helpful to remind competitive kids that this is not a race. 

RSVPing to our Facebook event is not necessary but helps us know who to expect.

Meet: 11:00am - Mosaic Park - N Quincy St & 5th Road N (we'll meet near that corner)
