Dear AdventuRiders,
Despite the cold and drizzle outside your window right now, tomorrow is supposed to be Partly Cloudy with a high in the 60s!
According to Google Maps, it is an hour and 3 minutes from Groton Center to Woonsocket. For those of you who want to carpool, let's meet at the Shaw's at Routes 119 and 225 in Groton.
8:30 AM - Meet at Shaw's Parking Lot in Groton.
8:45 AM - Leave for Woonsocket.
On Wednesday, April 24th -Woonsocket, RI - Blackstone River Bikeway
Note the 10:00 AM Starting Time from Woonsocket, hopefully we'll avoid some traffic that way.
Another new ride you ask? Yup, it's also way outside the 1/2 hour drive from Groton "rule", but it's worth it. Because some people will need to get back for kid duty, we will have (optional) LUNCH after the ride. Bring a snack and / or we'll get something quick in Central Falls.
NOTE: On RI rail trails, you ride on the right and walk on the left, it takes a bit to get used to walkers coming toward you in your lane. Stay alert.
The Exploration Ride will leave Woonsocket, RI bound for at least Central Falls and maybe Providence.
- 10:00 AM - We will leave for Providence.
- 2:00 PM - We should be back.
