Dear AdventuRiders,
The weather forecast for tomorrow looks TERRIFIC! It should be SUNNY, near 70 degrees, low humidity, and a light NW breeze.
I had so much fun on the afternoon Recreation Ride in Harvard a few weeks ago that I decided to "re-cycle" it tomorrow.
The Rescheduled, Substitute, Exploration Ride features the Shaker Villages and Shaker "lollipop" Cemetery. No trip around Harvard would be complete without riding UP Oak Hill, yes, its a category 5, but its not that steep, just long. Hopefully there will be some views from the ridges. Then its a bunch of downhill fun on the way back. That loop is 15 miles. Since its supposed to be such a nice day, I added an optional 7 mile loop around Bare Hill Pond if anyone is interested.
We can have lunch at Sorrento's afterwards.
