Dear AdventuRiders,
Well, it looks like we'll get a break in the rain tomorrow. It may be mostly cloudy, but it beats tropical downpours.
- If you haven't signed our WAIVER this year, you can print a copy here and bring it with you. We will also have copies if you need one.
- Be sure to parallel park facing away from Birmingham Bus. The Groton Precision Parking Police may still be lurking around.
- PUMP UP YOUR TIRES!!! You will enjoy the ride much more with properly inflated tires
- Don't forget your HELMET.
- Get ready for fun, adventure, companionship, fresh air, and even some exercise.
On Friday, September 9th - Groton Center
We will meet in Groton Center at the Nashua River Rail Trail parking lot. Here is the starting point map.
