First of all, CONGRATULATIONS to Joe, Jane, and Donna for completing 100 miles in NH and ME this weekend. Check out the picture from the Perkins Cove drawbridge. Also, thanks to Bobbie and Carole for joining us today for our 50 mile ride around "The Great Bay".
Here is a map of Saturday's ride to Ogunquit, ME.

So, the weather tomorrow isn't looking so good :-( The forecast for tomorrow is near 60 degrees with a 40% chance of rain. I'll let you know before 8:00 tomorrow morning.
The morning Fitness Ride will explore some pretty backroads of Westford on our way to Heart Pond in South Chelmsford. After a snack / swing (and new PortaPotty) we will ride a bit of the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail on the way back to Forge Pond. The route is a little over 17 miles and 350 feet vertical. Here is a map. There is a bit of gravel, but I plan to bring my road bike anyway.
We will have a picnic lunch at Forge Pond and we can get food at Pizzaria Presti.
The afternoon Recreation Ride will feature the old East Boston Camps in Westford and we will visit the beach at unspoiled Burgess Pond. From there we will go to Nabnassett Pond (with new PortaPotty) for a snack / swing. The route is about 13 1/2 miles with a little less than 200 feet vertical. Here is a map. There will be some civilized off road around Burgess Pond. I plan to bring my road bike anyway.
On Monday, September 27th, we will meet at Forge Pond Beach in Westford. Here is a map.
