Dear AdventuRiders,
Well, after all this crappy weather, it looks like Monday (Memorial Day) will be a top 10 day. To avoid holiday traffic, let's ride the Mass Central Rail Trail from Rutland out to the new bridge over the Ware River in Barre.
For those of you who have ridden the Mass Central Rail Trail around Sterling and West Boyleston, you know how beautiful it is. Now imagine continuing to Barre on the same trail. It's so nice in fact, that we will return on the trail as far as Rutland.
We will have lunch at the Kozy Kabin Restaurant in Barre or the NEW Heavy Evie's Happy Kitchen in Rutland.
On Monday, May 27th - Rutland
- The BONUS Ride will leave at 9:30 AM.
- We will return by 2:30 PM.
- Starting Point Map - Rutland Naquag Elementary School.
- Route Map - Rutland - MCRT - Barre.
- Distance = 26 miles.
- Elevation Gain = 900 feet (challenging).
- Unpaved = 14 miles (smooth crushed rock).
- Equipment = Any sturdy, well maintained bike will work. I am planning to bring my hybrid bike.
AR Index = Roughly equal to 35 flat, paved miles.
Hope to see you there,
Bill and Carole
