Dear AdventuRiders,
Get ready for the first Fitness Ride of the Spring 2012 season. The Fitness Rides are longer and more challenging than the Recreation Rides. They are not races, but we do ride purposefully and with fewer breaks. If you're not tired at the end of the ride, then I haven't done my job!
The weather forecast for tomorrow calls for SUNNY, breezy and about 40 degrees when we start and still SUNNY, breezy and about 50 when we return. I guess I'll have to save my shorts for another ride.
We can go to British Beer Company for lunch afterwards.
On Friday, April 6th - Heart Pond, South Chelmsford
We will ride a few miles of the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail on our way to the Olde North Bridge in Concord. Along the way we will visit Great Brook Farm State Park, the cranberry bogs, the backroads of Carlisle, and beautiful views from Monument Street.
- The Fitness Ride will leave at 9:30 AM.
- We will return by 12:30 PM.
