Dear AdventuRiders,
Well, it doesn't look like weather gods will be smiling on us tomorrow :-( The forecast is for mid 50s, 60% chance of rain and light winds. The weatherman has been wrong before, so I won't make the GO / STOP call until tomorrow morning before 8:00 AM.
On Friday, we will meet at Cutler Field in West Groton and ride to Brookline, NH. The route will be about 26 miles long and somewhere around 700 feet elevation gain. Most of the elevation gain is on Wallace Hill Road getting up to the ridge in Townsend with beautiful views of the mountains of Central Mass and Southern NH. We can have lunch afterwards at the Clover Farm Store in West Groton, or there is always Filho's.
On Friday, May 4th - West Groton
- The Fitness Ride will leave at 9:30 AM.
- We should be back by 12:30 PM.
