Ride:
Whether you’re a hardcore bike rider or just a casual cruiser, Southie Cycles – a new riding club –  might just be for you!   Started by Southie residents and bike enthusiasts Steve and Laura Bowden,  Southie Cycles is a free riding club for bicycle riders of all levels.  The idea is to ride with the group or lead a ride yourself.  All rides originate at MyBike at 391 W. Broadway. Go to www.southiecycles.com to check out the next ride, or add a ride to the schedule yourself!  Sounds like fun and healthy way to meet your Southie neighbors!

Pamper:
Give your skin an end of summer reboot! Summertime means enjoying the sunshine at the beach or pool.  Sun, chlorine, saltwater and the heat and humidity can do a number on your skin and leave it dehydrated.  Make an appointment to see Ann Marie at Indulge (637 East Broadway) and she’ll customize a facial perfect for your skin.  We promise your skin will never look better.  Call to 617-307-6345 to make an appointment.
