Dear AdventuRiders,
After the near wilderness experience (and many hills) of riding in Princeton on Wednesday, we will ride in a more urban environment on Friday. I've given up on predicting the weather. It could be clear / partly cloudy / overcast with seasonable / unseasonable temperatures. It may or may not rain, but probably just a passing shower. How is that for non-committal?
Anyhow, the Morning Fitness Ride is brand new and not fully "cooked" yet, but we will go to North Chelmsford and Freeman Lake, perhaps the former East Boston Camps in Westford and return.
LUNCH will be at Madras Grill & Bar with a LUNCH BUFFET!
The Afternoon Recreation Ride will go to Great Brook Farm State Park and Heart Pond.
