WESTFIELD – The Friends of the Columbia Greenway Rail Trail have announced “Tuesdays on the Trail,” a casual bike ride that will take place on Tuesdays during July and August.
Beginning this Tuesday, July 11, riders should meet at 6 p.m. at the Main Street trail ramp (located at the Stop & Shop parking lot) for a ride to Shaker Farms and return. The ride takes about one hour. Or, riders may join the group at 6 p.m. and turn back at any time.
“We’re trying to attract people who have never been on the trail,” said Alice Flyte of the Friends of the Columbia Greenway Rail Trail. Flyte said that this would be a good introduction to the trail, to help get new people used to riding on it. She said the ride is scheduled for 6 p.m. so people can join the group after work.
Flyte has also created an event for Tuesdays on the Trail on the Friends of the Columbia Greenway Rail Trail, Inc. Facebook page. For more information, call 413-454-7822.
Friends of the Columbia Greenway Rail Trail Inc. (FOCGRT), an outgrowth of the downtown Westfield visioning and strategic planning sessions, exists to create pathways to a bicycle and pedestrian friendly Westfield.
