Boston Tour De Grave
Saturday, October 27, 2012

We will take a trip to some of the Boston area's famous and lesser-known graveyards in honor of Halloween, leaving at 9:30 am in order to avoid the majority of ghosts for about 21 miles and 4 hours. Steady rain cancels.  Helmets are required.  Appropriate costumes are encouraged for this ride, which is sponsored by the Boston Cyclists Union

We'll make stops at the following burying grounds and cemeteries: Tollgate, Walter Street, St. Joseph's, Baker Street Jewish Cemeteries, Gardens at Gethsemane, Westerly, Centre Street Jewish Cemeteries, Grove Street Jewish Cemeteries, Fairview, Mt. Calvary, New Calvary, Mt. Hope, St. Michael's, and Forest Hills. Read PDF file of notes on cemeteries.
