AdventuRides- Groton Center- GLOUCESTER- Pepperell (rotary)

Hi everyone,

It will be hard to top last week's rides, with perfect weather, incredible views and adorable animals, but we'll try.  This week's temperatures will be in the 70s and 80s, with only Friday looking a bit iffy. We will take advantage of the weather and head to Gloucester on Wednesday, with an expected temperature of 73! Darlene will  be our guest Fearless Leader and will supply more details shortly.  PLEASE RSVP for WEDNESDAY'S RIDE.  We can try to arrange carpools and will know if someone is running late.

If you signed up for one ride a week, and had to miss some, feel free to make them up whenever your schedule allows.  The only things I'm fussy about are helmets and waivers. 

It's also time to start thinking about our end of season party. Typically, we do a slightly longer ride near our host's home in the morning, and have a pot luck lunch afterwards.  The party will be on Friday the 13th!  Alum are always welcome.  We have great fun, great food and some gag gifts.  If you would like to host, please let me know.
