First of a series of bicycle tours to explore the parks and learn the history in celebration of Longmont's 150th birthday. 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.
