Younger riders will ride for 3 miles with frequent stops at various historic sites, including the Hartwell Tavern where they will encounter National Park interpreters in 18th c. costume. Older kids will stop at the Tavern for a tour and continue on to the end of the Battle Road at the Meriam’s Corner, riding a total of 8 miles.
Complimentary juice, snacks and souvenirs will be provided to the kids.
A bicycle in good working order and a helmet is required for both parents and kids. A mountain bike is not necessary; however, the ride will be on a dirt path and having slightly fat tires is recommended. Helmets are required for every rider, young and old.

This ride is organized by the New England Mountain Bike Association (www.nemba.org) and co-sponsored by the National Park Service and the Friends of Minute Man National Park as part of the 50th anniversary of the Minute Man National Historical Park.
