Dear AdventuRiders,
Due to popular demand, I have shortened up my ride description to "blah, blah, blah, Lunch at Dolce Wood - Fired Italian Grill, blah, blah, blah, Beer, blah, blah, blah".
For the retro-grouches among us :-) the weather for tomorrow is looking Mostly Cloudy, around 70 degrees, little wind, but a bit humid. The rain should hold off until later in the afternoon. Its actually good riding weather, since the sun won't be beating down on us.
The route starts off as one of my fairly standard, but still scenic, routes to Hollis NH. From there we head to Nashua on some beautiful, mostly downhill back roads. Then its a bit more uphill to avoid the boring residential areas of Nashua before we get to Mine Falls Park. We will ride along the river to Downtown Nashua before turning back to ride along the canal back to Mine Falls. From there, it is a fairly boring ride along Route 111 (very nice wide shoulder) to the Nashua River Rail Trail and back to East Pepperell.
