CommonWheels Midnight Marathon Practice Ride
2023-04-08 10:00 - 15:00 UTC | 96 Holton St, Allston MA, 96 Holton St, Allston, MA, 02134, United States
Marathon Monday… Patriot’s Day… It’s also that glorious time of year for the annual Midnight Marathon Ride!
Not sure if your legs are ready for a full 26.2 or for the more ambitious 52.4 miles this early in the season? Never done the ride before and are not sure how easy or difficult the route is? Just want to go for a longer ride with cool people? We got you.
We’ll take you on a ~25-mile ride out and back on part of the Marathon route. Conquer the route during the day and see how easy it will be to do at midnight with the energy of hundreds of riders around you!
Meet at the New Allston Artisan’s Asylum Parking Lot. Meet at 10, roll at 10:30am. We’ll ride out on Beacon Street, meeting the Marathon route at Route 16. Ride to Wellesley center. Stop for food, then ride back on route, taking Comm Ave and conquering the Newton Hills (they are much easier by bike versus running). If anyone wants, we can ride all the way into the finish line. We’ll see how people feel.
This is a no drop ride! Route coming soon!
Let’s ride!
