Dear AdventuRiders,
Well, the forecast calls for Partly Sunny, mid 50s, and a wind out of the NW when we leave. It should be in the low 60s and cloudier when we return. We will be riding into the wind on the way to Brookline, but we should have a tailwind on the way back. If its not good picnic weather when we get back, we can go to the Bull Run in Shirley for a change.
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.
On Friday, May 11th - West Groton
- The Fitness Ride will leave at 9:30 AM.
- We should be back by 12:30 PM.
