Wow, what crazy weather we have been having. Tomorrow looks like a TOP 10 sort of day, SUNNY and 60 when we leave and near 70 when we get back with a refreshing breeze!
Here is a picture from today's Cape Ann ride. We were having a snack on the headlands overlooking Rockport Harbor. Nashua isn't quite that scenic, but it will be a fun ride along the old mill canals.
On Friday, June 3rd - East Pepperell
We will meet at the Rail Trail parking lot in East Pepperell Center. Here is the starting point map.
This is a "new" ride that starts at East Pepperell Center, goes UP to Hollis Center, then DOWN to Nashua. Then we will ride through Mine Falls Park on our way back to the Nashua River Rail Trail and back to Pepperell. There is a considerable amount of unpaved road and trail, but it is smoother than much of the pavement that we ride. I'm bringing my hybrid bike because its more comfortable.
