The Mystic Marauders swim, bike and sometimes run along Upper Mystic Lake. We do this for fun and sheer enjoyment on mid-week mornings. Tuesdays focus on longer swimming; Thursdays add a hill repeat (or three!) to build strength for longer rides. We encourage people to learn the course and we welcome all for this no-drop ride. After three rides with the group, we expect people to have learned the route. Can't bike, but want to swim? Drive instead: Mystic Valley Pkwy, Winchester, MA 01890 Note that our Beach Arrival time varies between 35-45 minutes from the departure time from Ace, depending on traffic and rider speeds.

Workout type: Urban ride and Open water lake swim of .25 -1.0 miles. Run instead of Swim in early/late season. Mystic Marauders Days and Times: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 6:00 AM-7:35 AM, weather-permitting. Heavy rain cancels. Workout start: ACE Wheelworks (corner of Elm/Willow Streets near Porter Square in Cambridge/Somerville). What to bring: goggles, swim cap, bike, flat kit, small towel, and water bottle. Please wear what you'll swim in under your bike clothes. Bike Route: Ace Wheelworks, to the Hill, the Lake (swim beach), and back complete course includes biking on urban roads through Davis Sq, which is always at your own risk. Join us on Saturday, Oct 2 (rain date, Oct 3) for the Mystic Marauders "do it yourself" D-I-Y Tri. SWIM to the L-buoy, BIKE 3x the Mystic Lake 5-mile loop, clockwise all right-turns on major roads for 3 loops (15 miles total), then RUN the 3-miler on the Eastern Shore. Everyone times him/herself and takes his/her own risks-- this is an unofficial event and roads are open to all, so please be careful. Have fun!
