I just got back from the Portsmouth ride. It was kind of cold the first couple of miles, so we turned inland to get out of the wind and it felt much warmer. Lunch at the Portsmouth Brewery was fantastic. In the afternoon it was PERFECT biking weather; mid 50s, tailwind, totally sunny, and crashing surf.
Tomorrow should be a bit warmer, less windy, and still totally sunny. Probably not much surf in Dunstable though.
The morning Recreational Ride will enjoy the views from High Street and then we will go over to Nashua and ride some paved nature trails. From there we will ride a bit of the Nashua River Rail Trail and wind our way back to Dunstable along scenic backroads. The route is about 13 1/2 miles and the first half is a bit hilly. It is all on road and I plan to bring my road bike. Here is a map.
The afternoon Fitness Ride will visit the "field of dreams" in Dunstable and some pretty back roads in Tyngsboro. The route is about 16 miles and quite hilly. It is all on road and I plan to bring my road bike. Here is a map.
On Friday, November 12th, we will meet at Larter Field in Dunstable. The nearest intersection is Groton Street and Dogwood Lane.
- At 9:30 AM - The Recreational ride will leave for High Street. Here is a map.
- At 11:30 AM - We will have lunch at The Convenient Man in Dunstable Center. It might be warm enough for a picnic!
- At 12:15 PM - The Fitness ride will leave for "The Field of Dreams". Here is a map.
- At 2:15 PM - We will be back.
Hope to see you there,
Bill and Carole
