Join MassBike and coalition partners on Friday June 19, 2026, for the fourth annual Kittie Knox Ride! This community bike ride around Boston, Cambridge, Watertown, and Waltham features the history of
Katherine “Kittie” Knox, a bi-racial woman cyclist and barrier-breaker in the 1890s.
Riders will learn about Kittie as a bicycling pioneer and we’ll ride and reflect on issues we’re facing today in terms of racial and gender representation in bicycling and advocacy. A historical site summary will be provided for this ride by local historian Larry Finison, author of “Boston's Cycling Craze, 1880-1900".
The rain date for this event will be June 21, 2026. Details on times will be announced soon.
Check-In and Start Times
35-mile riders: 2:30pm
20-mile riders: 2:30pm
Start Time: 3:00 pm
End Time: The event will end around 7pm.
Stick around after the ride for food and conversation with your fellow riders and take a tour of Mount Auburn to visit Kittie's gravesite.
Riders will leave in groups of 10 with a ride leader based on check-in time. If you would like to ride with a friend, plan to arrive at the same time to be put together in a group.
Routes
There are two routes for the Kittie Knox Ride, both will start at the Mount Auburn Cemetery Maintenance gate entrance off Cottage Street (24 Cottage St, Watertown, MA 02472). Bikes are not allowed in the cemetery but the start point is accessible from the Watertown-Cambridge Greenway bike path.
While this ride will be guided, we ask participants to download the GPS file or print cue cards in advance.

Enjoy a cold Harpoon and snacks while listening to panelists and veteran B2VT riders Karen Smyers and Skip Thomas share insights and answer questions about how to successfully train for and complete this iconic beast of a ride. Karen is the 1995 Hawaiian Ironman Champion, a Hall of Fame triathlete and experienced coach and Skip is the course designer for both the B2VT and the VT Monster gravel ride as well as an accomplished masters cyclist. Skip was also one of the 25 courageous riders that did the first B2B Ride and proved it was possible!

This talk is open to non-registered riders as well so bring some friends who are on the fence--after a Harpoon and pep talk from Skip and Karen, you will have some more riding buddies!
