Dear AdventuRiders,
Our 18th season officially starts tomorrow. The weather looks like its going to cooperate too. It should be Partly Cloudy and low 70s when we leave and Mostly Sunny and low 80s when we return.
On Friday, September 7th - East Pepperell - Nashua
This 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.
- The Fitness Ride will leave at 9:30 AM.
- We should return by 12:30 PM.
- Starting Point Map - East Pepperell Center.

Hope to see you there,
Bill and Carole
