SUMMER SATURDAYS RIDE #1

Elizabeth Park Rose Garden, Harford, CT
Saturday, May 24th, 10:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.

Join us for the inaugural ride
of our bimonthly Summer Saturdays Ride Series. This week we’ll visit Elizabeth Park, the oldest municipally operated rose garden in the country.  The 102 acre garden boasts nearly 800 varieties of roses, which should be displaying their most fragrant & beautiful blooms in the coming days, so don’t forget to bring your camera!  The neighboring streets are home to some of Hartford’s oldest and most beautiful mansions, which we’ll scoot by on the way back to the shop. If time allows, we’ll stop at a few more historic sites and grab a snack in West Hartford as well.

Saturday, June 21st, 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. (?)

Join us for a pot-luck extravaganza on the banks of the Farmington River with plenty of great hiking and fishing nearby. If we play our cards right, we can score a picnic site near some open fields for games, too. We’ll need a non-scootering volunteer to help us transport the lunch goodies, who we’ll generously reward with a substantial meal and donations for gas money for the 40 mile round trip. Call Sue at Vespa Hartford 860-747-2552 to help plan this event.
