History by Bike – Tour Longmont Parks by Bike!

Celebrate Longmont’s 150th with a bicycle tour throughout the parks with parks historian and bicycle tour guide

Explore the historical parks of Longmont. What is original to the parks? Parks, houses and sidewalks. We will visit the three originals (Thompson, Roosevelt and Collyer) and can you guess what the other two are? Clue is in the mileage. All biking will be on roads, some with bike lanes and some not. Mileage: 5-6 (total). Raindate: April 10, 9:15 AM.
