Dear AdventuRiders,
Its looks like a beautiful Spring day tomorrow! The forecast calls for 40s, SUNNY, with little wind. Please try to be a few minutes early so we can leave on time.
Friday, April 15th - Groton Center
We will meet in Groton Center at the Nashua River Rail Trail parking lot. Here is the starting point map.
- This week's Fitness Ride will take us DOWN the hill and across the Nashua River on our way to West Groton. Then we cross the Squannacook River and head for Hickory Hills Lake in Lunenburg. From there it is UP to Flat Hill and beautiful views. We will stop in Shirley Center for an extended snack / break in the "Most Historic Town in America".
- We can check out the flowers at Holdenwood on our way to Shirley Village. From there we cross the Nashua River again and ride through part of old Fort Devens. Then its off to Ayer Center before we return on the Nashua River Rail Trail.
- The route is about 25 1/2 miles with about 600 feet elevation gain (moderate). Its all on road, so I plan to bring my road bike. Here is the route map.
Here is the schedule:
- At 9:30 AM - The Fitness Ride will leave.
- At 12:30 PM - We will be back.
- Lunch - Filho's Cucina.
Hope to see you there.
Bill and Carole
