This Week - Hudson - Salem - Harvard

Dear AdventuRiders,

The weather is looking nice, but quite breezy. We will generally be in the woods or at least surrounded by trees so it shouldn't be an issue. It should be SUNNY and upper 40s when we leave and mid 50s when we return.

I have been one of the major culprits in being late for the rides. If we get a late start in the morning, it messes up the whole day. So, please try to be at the starting point early enough to get geared up and ready to go at the appointed time.

I haven't figured out all the ride details yet, but we will go to UP to Marlboro, through the woods to the Wildlife Refuge and ride the Assebet River Rail Trail sometime during the day. I will publish details later this evening.

We have quite a few possibilities for LUNCH including the Horseshoe Pub (80 beers on tap + Oktoberfest), Rail Trail Flatbread Company, (Carole has some suggestions too).

This is our pre-Halloween Ride because I'm afraid Salem will turn into it's usual madhouse on Friday.

OK, so it's not Salem, but we can make it as spooky as possible... Costumes are encouraged, and I will buy lunch for the best costume! GET BUSY!!!
