August 1 Ride: West Quincy to the Neponset Riverfront

It’s August and this is the first of our 2020 rides in Quincy.  Here is a route planned by Irene.  She says:

I wanted to bring you from coffee in West Quincy along the Neponset River and back via some views I recently discovered as well as some of our low-stress connectors.  I have tried to provide options for the higher stress locations that I feel are worth riding for the view, but please don’t ride them if they make you uncomfortable.  You can backtrack to Holbrook Road and take a lower stress path and still see all of the beautiful parts of the riverfront on this route.  As always, please ride with caution and always take a route that feels comfortable to you. — Irene

Please share photos of your ride on these routes with us on our Facebook page.  Let us know what you think of the route:  Knew it already?  Loved finding a new way through the city? Found it too stressful? If that last one, what will make it more comfortable for you as a bicyclist?
