More Business - PPP + Ride Tomorrow

Dear AdventuRiders,

Well, it DID rain, it was just 8 hours later than I thought :-0 There are 2 things I don't like about my "job". First is the paperwork, but Carole takes care of most of it. Secondly, I'm just not cut out to be a weatherman! Anyhow, here are a couple of announcements:


1. Change of plans for Paddle, Pedal & Picnic.

It may be raining now, but the Nashua River is still very low. We are now planning to paddle the river from West Groton to Pepperell Ponds. There is a bunch of history along this stretch of river and Pepperell Ponds has an enormous variety of wildlife. The best part is that we will not be dragging bottom since there is the dam at Pepperell. The weather forecast looks like perfect Fall weather with sunshine and upper 60s. We still have a few spots left for you procrastinators. You can sign up at Acton Recreation. Click on Adult Programs, and select #134 Paddle, Pedal & Picnic. All expenses, including lunch, are part of the deal. You will need to bring your bike and a helmet.

So here is the revised schedule:

* At 9:30 AM - We will meet at the Nashua River Watershed Association parking lot. Please park at the back of the lot. Here is a map. The address is 592 Main Street, Groton, MA.  From there we will provide shuttle service to Nashoba Paddler in West Groton.
* At 10:00 AM - We should be on the river and enjoying the sunshine, tranquility, and history.
* At somewhat past noonish - We will climb out of the canoes, climb on our bikes and head for Filho's Cucina (about 2 miles away) for a truly outstanding lunch (included in the price).
* After Lunch - We will climb back on our bikes and head for the scenic backroads of Groton and Pepperell. This will be a recreational sort of ride that will be customized for the group.
* Before 4:00 PM - We will be back.


2. "I Just Gotta Ride" Ride

Since I screwed up this morning, Lets do the Hollis ride tomorrow morning.

On Tuesday, September 14th, we will meet in East Pepperell Center. Here is a map.

* At 9:30 AM, the "I Just Gotta Ride" Ride will leave for quaint Hollis Center, NH. Here is a map. We might extend this if people want to.
* At Noonish, we will have lunch at the good ole Pepperell Spa.


Hope to see you there,
Bill and Carole
