Dear AdventuRiders,
The good news is that its supposed to be SUNNY on Friday! The bad news is that it may only be in the low 30s when we start. The worse news it that it could snow Thursday night. Stay tuned.
More good news is that we won't be climbing Prospect Hill on this ride. Of course we will miss Fruitlands Museum and the goats on Madigan Lane as well as the Category 5 hill. However, we will stop at Bare Hill Pond to admire the scenery before we head UP to the Wataquadock Hills and enjoy the distance mountain views.
On the way back we will pass many scenic farms while staying up on the ridge to minimize the hills. We will stop at Bower Springs for a PortaPotty break, and we can go down to the pond if we have time. Then its a 4 mile roller coaster ride back to Harvard Center on Bolton Road.
Lunch will be at Sorrento's
