Southie (mainly)


View BikingBoston: 03 Jul 11 in a larger map


Nice long ride, really enjoyed looping around Castle Island after crossing Southie on Broadway (and stopping for a new battery at Radio Shack). This is a well-traveled path probably familiar to a lot of people who ride around Boston. One place I liked is Dorchester Heights, a hill with a 115-ft tall tower that celebrates the importance of this hill during the America Revolution. Apparently the occupation and fortification of this spot in 1776 represented a significant turning point in Washington's campaign against the British in the Boston area.
