Dear AdventuRiders,
THANKS for a great season, we couldn't do it without you! We did 34 rides and 750 miles total in spite of some weather challenges. In addition to the local rides, we also went to Rhode Island twice, Cape Ann and the North Shore twice, Portsmouth, Boston, and the Mass Central Rail Trail.
So, now that I am becoming acclimated / acquiesced to Summer let's get the FREE SummeRides season started. This coming week's weather doesn't look so good, but a few ideas for later include the new Fitch Bridge and the new Portsmouth Memorial Bridge (when they open) and LUNCH at the new Ixtapa Mexican Grill & Cantina in Groton.
First up is RiverFest on Sunday, June 23rd. I will be leading a ride from 10:30 AM until noon which is a "Family Ride" from Groton Center to Pepperell on the Rail Trail to explore the Nashua and Nissitissit Rivers. None of this will be new to seasoned AdventuRiders, but its a good way to get to RiverFest since you will need to take a bus from Deluxe (NEBS) parking lot if you plan to drive.
As a reminder to new riders, you MUST have an approved bicycle helmet, and you MUST pump up your tires! You will also need to initial and sign our Release and Waiver of Liability. Sorry, no unaccompanied minors are allowed.
Look for me over in the shade near the GELD building.
