Dear AdventuRiders,
YAY, they've moved any mention of rain until later in the afternoon. It will be warm, and partly to mostly cloudy until 3:00 ish when it could start raining. It should be about 60 degrees when we leave and near 70 degrees when we get back. Much nice than our 35 degrees and raining Halloween ride from last year.
On Wednesday, October 29th - Beverly - Salem
So the plan is to meet in Beverly at the soccer fields on Cross Lane and ride along the coast to Salem. We will stop at Lynch Park and ride through Endicott College in Beverly, go to Tuck's Point and Singing Beach in Manchester, and tour some beautiful coastline in Gloucester. I haven't checked out our usual LUNCH stop in Magnolia yet, but we'll find something special.
RSVP if you want me try and arrange carpools.
The route map shows 1500 feet elevation gain, but in reality it is mostly just "ripples" rather than noticeable hills.
- 9:30 AM - We will leave from the Curve Lane Soccer Field.
- 12:30 PM- ish - Lunch at Magnolia House of Pizza.
- 2:30 PM - We should be back.
