CASUAL CITY RIDES

These rides are led by someone very familiar with the route and very familiar with city riding. The ride leader can take care of a flat tire or other small bike issues that may arise. However, if the bicycle is not in proper shape for the ride, we cannot be responsible for repair issues.
PLEASE send an email to info@lightstcycles.com or call 410-685-2234 with contact info if you are interested in any of these rides.

Sunday mornings: 8:15 am until about 11:30 am
Join us at 8:15 am in front of the shop at 1015 Light Street. We will bike (uphill) to Lake Montebello and ride the approximately 1.3 mile loop around this integral part of Baltimore’s water filtration system. The road around the lake has just been resurfaced and the entire are landscaped as part of a $15 million project that also increased the lake’s storage capacity. (See http://www.ci.baltimore.md.us/news/press/0807/082907%20Lake%20Montebello.pdf for a description of the work.) We should return around 11:30 am.


Wednesday lunchtime: 11:00 am until about 2:00 pm
From 11:00 am until about 2:00 pm, ride (uphill) to Druid Hill Lake and circle the fountain, enjoying yet another recent improvement to our city’s parks. (see http://www.trails.com/tcatalog_trail.asp?trailid=XMR012-007 for a hiker’s description of the loop). We will join up with lunchtime riders from Baltimore’s Recreation and Parks as they squeeze some exercise into their day. Meet in front of the shop, at 1015 Light St.


Friday mornings: 6:30 am until about 8:15 am from War Memorial Plaza
City riding varying from the Gwynn’s Falls Trail, the Jones Falls Trail, and other routes we may make up, we start at 6:30 am from War Memorial Plaza and finish by around 8:15 to get to work on time. If you are not in a hurry, you can have breakfast in Federal Hill afterwards.


Saturday mornings: 9:30 am until about 11:30 am
Ride the Gwynn’s Falls Trail, starting at Light Street Cycles at 9:30 am. The ride destination will vary between the lower portion (down to Harbor Hospital) and the upper portion (Carroll Park to Leakin Park). See http://www.gwynnsfallstrail.org for info on the trail. The ride should be over by noon, and the riders may, if they want, lunch together at one of the excellent restaurants and eateries in Federal Hill.
