Friday ride

The Hudson weather for tomorrow looks good…. 64 degrees at 10am and about 70 shortly after noon. I'll send an update in the morning with the GO/NOGO message.

We'll meet at 9:30 at the lot behind the Horseshoe Pub at 29 South St and ride the Hudson Stow route.  I just edited the route and made a new one called Hudson Stow When The Trail Is Too Wet in case we need it.

Bring an initialed and signed waiver if you can, along with $10 if you plan to ride more than once this session. 

Please pump up your tires, bring your helmet, water and smile!

See you there!

Friday's Ride

Joel and I have changed the route for Friday. It still starts from the same place and is the  Hudson Stow ride which is shorter and less hilly (16.1 miles and 579') so maybe more riders will come along.  This ride uses the upper part of the Assabet River Rail Trail and goes through the Assabet River National Wildlife Refuge and the Delaney Flood Control Site.

The reason for the change is that both of the other Hudson routes we were considering have a blocked road (thanks to Carole for letting us know).

I'll send a reminder tomorrow night.

Adventurides - Ride on Friday, September 8 - Hudson

Hello Adventuriders

We hope you're all having a great Labor Day weekend and that you have your bikes all ready to go.

Our first ride of the season is scheduled for next Friday, although the long range forecast is calling for rain in the morning (maybe we could meet for lunch and then ride!).

We'll be doing either the  Hudson - Asset River Rail Trail route (https://ridewithgps.com/routes/12893443) which is 21 miles long or the Hudson-Berlin-ARRT route (https://ridewithgps.com/routes/12893462)  which is 23 miles.

For lunch we'll go to the Flatbread Rail Trail Co. at 33 Main St. and we'll park and meet behind the Horseshoe Pub at 29 South St in Hudson.  Please park well back of the Pub.  

We'll meet at 9:30 and collect your initialed and signed waivers (see attached) and start the ride at 9:45.  Lunch will be between 12 and 12:30.

You'll note on the map that the New City Microcreamery is right across the street from Flatbread. It's a great place for a reward for a nice ride.

Please remember to bring:

bike

helmet

water

waiver (we'll have extra ones)

full tires

We'll send a reminder on Thursday evening and a GO/NOGO message on Friday morning.

Also, please clear your calendar for Friday the 15th for Darlene's new Ipswich ride and the 22nd for Stephanie's new Westford ride. 

On Monday and Wednesday the 11th and 13th we'll be riding in Dunstable and Bolton.

Cheers!

Spring 2017

We want to thank our riders for keeping Adventurides the great biking club that it is and for a fun and safe season.

We are no longer available to lead this month and so the official Spring 2017 has come to a close.  

Overall, 23 riders participated and we had 33 rides.  There were NO flat tires and only one fall that I know of (me) which was due to one of three similar chain problems.

We would love hearing from you as to how you felt the biking season went and any ideas you may have for improvements on topics such as 

routes

policies

decorum

safety

leadership

pace

stops

lunch

etc.

Jane has decided not to co-lead in the fall but we are happy to let you know that Joel Ross has agreed to take her place.

Many thanks to Jane and Joel!!

We hope that you all have a happy, healthy and safe summer!

Sincerely,

Jane and Bill
