Dear AdventuRiders,
The weather for Monday is looking excellent! Sunny and mid 60's in the morning, mid 70's in the afternoon, low humidity and light breezes.
The morning Fitness Ride features a trip through the Assebet River National Wildlife Refuge. Its only recently been open to bicycling. Along the way we will also ride past Delaney Pond and check out the last paved section of the Assebet River Rail Trail. The route is about 18 miles with a few hills and a bit of off road. Here is a map.
The afternoon Recreation Ride will feature a beautiful unpaved portion of the Assebet River Rail Trail. We will also visit the restored Victorian houses in West Acton on the way back. We might even visit the CIA Headquarters! The route is about 14 miles with a couple of significant hill and some extremely civilized, unpaved rail trail. Here is a map.
