Dear AdventuRiders,
After having glorious weather on the Friday ride, the Monday forecast isn't looking so good :-(
Currently, the Monday forecast calls for showers, low 50s, and a chilly NNE wind. Let's hope things change before Monday.
The Morning Recreation Ride will travel to Chelmsford and cruise part of the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail. Then we will ride past the Cranberry Bog on the way to Great Brook Farm State Park, and finally some quiet backroads in Carlisle.
The Afternoon Recreation Ride will also explore some quiet Carlisle backroads on our way to the Old North Bridge in Concord.
