Dear AdventuRiders,
The AdventuRiders have spoken, and having a Friday End of Season Party has won by a landslide!
Well, it looks like our run of good weather has come to an end :-( The Monday forecast is for a 90% chance of rain / freezing rain.
Wednesday is looking SUNNY but COLD, and Friday is too far away to take the forecast seriously.

Everybody is welcome to join us on Wednesday to celebrate the completion of our 22nd season. There are 2 starting points, one includes gravel and other one doesn't. Since we are simply riding the Minuteman Bikeway, you can turn around when you get half tired or need to be back early.
At the risk of causing a mutiny, I have a new lunch recommendation from our intrepid rider Darlene (who steered us to Dave's in the first place). She recommends Diva Indian Bistro right in Davis Square. "Diva has a very good Indian lunch buffet for $8.99. They also have seating!! and there is bike parking nearby."

Bill and Carole
