Reminder - Heart Pond Tomorrow

Dear AdventuRiders,

YAY!!! SUNNY and mid 50s to low 60s tomorrow.

Monday, May 2nd - Heart Pond

We have two choices of rides on Monday, the morning ride will be an easy cruise along the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail and a trip through Great Brook Farm State Park. The afternoon ride will be a bit more challenging as we visit the scenic backroads of Carlisle.

We will meet at the Heart Pond parking lot in South Chelmsford. Here is a starting point map.

• The morning Recreation Ride will feature the new ($1,000,000 per mile) Bruce Freeman Rail Trail. We will also cruise over to Great Brook Farm State Park and ride past the cranberry bogs.

• The route is a little less than 14 miles long, a little over 200 feet vertical (easy), and there are only two noticeable hill on it. There is a short bit of old dirt road in GBFSP, but a road bike will work fine. Here is a route map.

We will have a picnic lunch at Heart Pond beach. We can get subs at Kate's Corner store or BYOL.

• The afternoon Recreation Ride will also visit Great Brook Farm State Park on our way to the scenic backroads of Carlisle.

• The route is a little over 14 miles long with almost 300 feet vertical (average). It is all on road. Here is a route map.

Here is the schedule:

• At 9:30 AM - The morning Recreation Ride will leave.
• At 11:30 AM - We will have a picnic lunch.
• At 12:30 PM - The afternoon Recreation Ride will leave.
• At 2:30 PM - We will be back.

Hope to see you there,

Bill and Carole
