This Week - West Acton - Beverly - Devens

Dear AdventuRiders,

After many weeks of perfect bicycling weather, it looks like the pattern is changing :-( The weatherpersons are changing their minds constantly, so I will leave it to the morning of the ride to call it. Generally this week it should be near 60 when we leave and near 70 when we return with or without clouds / rain / thunder. Let's hope for the best.
