This week HUDSON- NASHUA- RAIN?

It's hard to stay on schedule with the Hudson rides.  The routes are interesting and the restaurants slow. We'll do the best we can.

We will ride on some gorgeous roads on the way to Nashua.  Mines Fall park is unpaved, but mostly easy riding. It's a cool urban park, with a waterfall and canal.
We can have lunch at El Colima in Nashua before heading back. This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants around. It has moved to 116 West Pearl Street. The route here might not be exactly what we ride.

Friday looks like rain.  If the forecast improves, I'll come up with a plan. Hopefully with more lead-time than tomorrow's rides :(
