The Somerville Bicycle Committee will lead riders through the squares of Somerville, stopping at six restaurants to sample a smattering of local flavors. This is a leisurely ride suitable for all levels!

An RSVP is required to hold your spot. Please email: jacy.edelman1@gmail.com and specify number of riders/full names. Spots are limited to 40 and will fill on first come, first served basis.

Cost: $30 per person. 25% of fee proceeds to cover food cost with the remaining funds to benefit The Welcome Project: http://www.welcomeproject.org/. Info on the option to be a "sponsored" rider will be emailed with your RSVP confirmation. All riders will also receive a free YUM card ($10 value), which will give you 10% off at various local immigrant-run restaurants (http://www.welcomeproject.org/yumsomerville).

A Tasting Tour of Somerville will precede the SPOKES 2012: A Somerville Bike Fest happening the same day in Union Square Plaza from 5-9pm. Ride, repair and relish in Somerville’s bicycle culture! http://www.facebook.com/events/265313896905897/
