The route for the handicap bicycle road race is as follows: The start is at the corner of River and Howard streets, near Central Square, Cambridgeport; down River street across bridge, and direct on Cambridge street to Winship street, Brighton. Turn left on this street and Chestnut Hill Avenue to stone gate. Pass through this and between the reservoirs to the right up the hill on Beacon street. Keep Bea con street through Newton Centre. Half a mile beyond turn right on Walnut street, which hold through New tonville to Craft street. Keep straight ahead on Craft street till North street branches to the right from it. Follow North street across the river, then turn left and go across railroad track into Waltham, half a mile beyond. At station turn to the right on Elm street (we believe) to Main street one-eighth of a mile. Turn right on Main street and follow it to Watertown, whence follow the horse car tracks on Mt. Auburn street to Mt. Auburn. The finish is at an asphalt crossing (which is smooth and may be spurted over without danger) about seventy-five yards before reaching the bridge across the railroad tracks. The horse cars go directly from the starting place to the finish, so that any one wishing to see start and finish can do so very conveniently.
