Starting at Bridgewater State University, we use a pedestrian underpass to see more of the main campus. Exploring the nearby towns, we pass Burrage Pond Wildlife Management Area, Oliver Mills Park (with fish ladders for its dam), and some of the Lakeville lakes. Come see what suburbia and farmlands south of Boston have to offer.
Potential stops include:
- Cumberland Farms at 25.4 miles. There is access to food, water, and bathrooms.
The routes diverge at 27.4 miles.
Weather cancellations will be announced by 7:00 AM the day of the ride. May reschedule to December 7.
