Dear AdventuRiders,
As promised, here are the details for tomorrow, even though I have more chauffeuring to do tonight.
The weather for tomorrow looks pretty good, warmer but cloudier than today. It should be around 50 degrees when we leave in the morning and 60 degrees by afternoon.
The morning Recreation Ride will visit the rapids on the Nashua River. They should be pretty high after the recent rain and snow melt.
The afternoon Fitness Ride will ride around the hills of West Pepperell, but we will probably skip the swim in Heald Pond :-)
On Monday, April 7th - East Pepperell Center
- The Recreation Ride will leave at 9:30 AM.
- We will return by 11:30 AM.
- Starting Point Map - East Pepperell Center.
- Route Map - East Pepperell - Nashua - NRRT.
- Distance - 12 1/2 miles.
- Elevation Gain - 400 feet.
- Rough Surface - none.
