Dear AdventuRiders,
The weather should be better tomorrow with the forecast calling for Partly Cloudy, mid 60s to mid 70s and light winds. I need to pick up my kids at 1:30 tomorrow, so I've shortened the ride a bit, and I can't do lunch / brewery afterwards :-(
On Wednesday, June 15th - Westminster
The Wednesday Exploration Ride will take us west to the Mount Wachusett region. We will start in Westminster, climb UP toward the west shoulder of Mount Wachusett on some scenic backroads before zooming DOWN to beautiful views at Princeton. From there we ride to Gardner passing many lakes before turning back to Westminster. I'm planning to do the whole ride with just a couple of snack breaks. There are a couple of significant hills at the beginning of the ride including a Cat 5 (easiest category) as we pass the mountain. From there it is rolling hills back to Westminster.
- The Exploration Ride will leave at 9:30 AM.
- Starting Point Map - Westminster Bandshell
- Route Map - Westminster - Wachusett
- Distance - 23 miles
- Elevation Gain - 725 feet (more difficult)
- Unpaved - 1 mile - some rough spots

AR Index = roughly 31 flat, paved miles.
Here is the schedule:
- 9:30 AM - The Exploration Ride leaves.
- 1:00 PM - We will be back to Westminster.
Hope to see you there,
Bill (and maybe Carole)
