Dear AdventuRiders,
We had a GREAT ride on Friday to start off our 16th season of AdventuRides, and the weather for Monday looks promising, although perhaps Mostly Cloudy.
You can register for the Fall 2011 season at any of these local recreation departments:
- Acton Recreation - Program #137
- Littleton Recreation - Page 8
- Pepperell Recreation
- Roudenbush Community Center
You don't need to register before your first ride, but for insurance purposes, please register soon. Thanks!
The morning Recreation Ride will feature the Nashua River Rail Trail north to New Hampshire with a visit to the rapids on the Nashua River in Hollis. On the way back, we will ride the scenic back roads of Dunstable before heading back on the Rail Trail.
Lunch will be at the NEW Pepperell Spa Cafe. After 70 years the Bozicas family has sold the Spa to a new owner. They have a bathroom on the first floor now!
The afternoon Recreation Ride is "Rail Trail Free" and we will explore along the Nissitissit River to Brookline NH and back.
