Dear AdventuRiders,
The weather is looking spectacular again on Friday! It should be around 50 degrees in the morning and 60 degrees in the afternoon with SUNSHINE.
The starting point is somewhat difficult to find. When you get to the intersection of Route 225 and the railroad tracks in Forge Village, look for a small road parallel to the railroad tracks with a sign that says "Forge Pond".
If you are coming from the south, turn LEFT immediately before the RR tracks. If you are coming from the Groton side, turn RIGHT immediately after the RR tracks.
If the weather is nice enough, we'll have a picnic and you can buy food at Pizzeria Presti across the street.
