Dear AdventuRiders,
It should be done being rainy and cold by tomorrow morning. It is forecast to be Mostly Cloudy and mid 40s when we leave and Partly Cloudy and still mid 40s when we return. The wind will be a bit busy, dress accordingly.
We will start at the Acton Library (nice warm PORCELAIN bathrooms) and the rides will generally move away from Acton traffic whenever possible. The morning Fitness Ride highlight will be the llama, goat, and sheep menagerie in Littleton and still colorful backroads through Boxboro. The afternoon Recreation Ride will feature the Prouty Woods in Littleton with possible side trips to Long Pond and Wilderness House (fantastic views).
It will probably not be the greatest picnic weather, so we can eat inside at Acton House of Pizza.
