Dear AdventuRiders,
The poll results are in and RIDE to Somerville won by a landslide!
The good news is that the forecast is for SUNNY skies Wednesday. The less good news is that it will be about 25 degrees when we leave and the windchill will be 15 degrees. On the way back, the temperature will rocket up to freezing.
Be sure to have good gloves, ears and face protection, and a smile under all those layers. I doubt the bathrooms in Bedford will be open :-(
In case I forget tomorrow morning, here are a few reminders.
- Rail trails don't have cars, but they have plenty of other hazards. Stay alert.
- Anything that looks wet could be ice.
- Leaves could be especially treacherous.
- Watch out for car doors once we get to Davis Square.
Everybody is welcome to join us on Wednesday to celebrate the completion of our 22nd season. 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."
