Dear AdventuRiders,
Tomorrow's weather is SUNNY and low 60's in the morning, mid 70's in the afternoon and low humidity! Don't forget your sunscreen.
Here is the map for the Nashoba Valley Winery / Assebet River Rail Trail route. It starts about a mile from 495 (exit 27) in Bolton Center. I found a ball field with PortaPotty's just down the hill from Nashoba Valley Winery. Here is a map. The route goes over Sawyer Hill (great views) to South Berlin, and Northboro and then Marlboro. We catch the ARRT for a breezy downhill run to Hudson and then head back to Bolton.The route is all on road and rather hilly, but only 24 miles to make up for the hills. Here are some pictures that Joe took last fall.
On Wednesday, May 5th, we will meet in Bolton Center. Here is a map.
- 9:30 AM - We will leave for Berlin and Marlboro.
- noonish - Lunch and "refreshments" at the Horseshoe Pub in Hudson.
- 2:15 PM - We will be back to Bolton
- Apres Bike - Wine tasting at Nashoba Valley Winery just up the hill from our starting point.
Hope to see you there,
Bill and Carole
PS. Here is some information about the wine tasting.
