End of Season

Joel and I have agreed that the weather tomorrow won't be conducive to pleasant bike riding and are declaring that this fall's season is over.

Any future rides this month or next will be only on nice weather days and on an rsvp basis.

Our best to you all for a nice Thanksgiving!

Rides This Week

Hi All

I'm in a quandary.  

Not many people show up for rides when it's cold out. Tomorrow promises to be one of those iffy days…in the 30's at 9:30 and all the way up to 42 by mid-afternoon….and no sun.

If you'd like to ride tomorrow, please let me know sometime today.

On Wednesday, there will be a morning ride in Sterling on the Central Mass Rail Trail.  At least Jane and I will be there. Come join us. No afternoon ride.

On Friday, depending on the weather and the forecast for the next week (Thanksgiving week), we'll either do the Concord-Lincoln-Weston-Wayland-Sudbury-West Concord 25 mile ride with lunch at Trails End Cafe or the Bedford to Somerville ride with lunch at Dave's Pasta (celebrating the final official ride of this season).  During the following two weeks, if the weather turns nice, we'll do rides on a one-off basis….

The snow stakes are up on my street!

Cheers,

Bill

Tomorrow's Ride

Reminder:

Tomorrow's ride starts at 10am in Gloucester at Stage Fort Park.  Take exit 14 off of route 128, Essex Ave (rte 133).  Set your GPS for 24 Hough Ave.

We should be back between 2:30 and 3 depending on how long we take for lunch.

The temperature will remain in the 50s during the ride but it will be a nice, sunny day. There will be a breeze out of the west.

This ride has many nice views. Don't miss it.

We'll see you there!

Bill & Joel

Friday Ride

This Friday - Cape Ann!

We'll do the Gloucester - Rockport  ride which is 28.3 miles long with an elevation of 1409' (which is a normal 50' per mile) with a stop at mile 17.5 for lunch at Roy Moore's Fish Shack.  

We'll start at 10am(halloween color) after parking at the Stage Fort Park lot at about 24 Hough Ave. in Gloucester.

Let Joel or me know if you're looking for a car pool buddy (if you don't already have one lined up).

The weather will be SUNNY with a high temp of 62.

There will be lots of beautiful ocean sights along the way.

Don't miss this ride!

Next week's rides

Many thanks to Jane who will be leading Monday's rides!  The rides lately have had spectacular foliage views….

Monday morning:   park at Center Park in Carlisle next to Fern's.  At 9:30, we'll leave and do the Carlisle - Old North Bridge ride which is 15.7 miles long with an elevation of 744'.  We'll be back by 11:30 and have lunch at Fern's.

Monday afternoon at 12:30 we'll leave on the Carlisle - GBFSP - 12 Reversed ride which is 11.9 miles long with an elevation of 541'.

The weather is forecasted to be mostly cloudy with a high of 71.  

The forecast is for rain on Wednesday.

Friday is TBD but I'm happy to have suggestions:  the weather is supposed to be good with a high in the mid-60s.  We could try for Cape Ann again if enough people are interested….

Have a nice weekend.

Bill

from yesterday's ride:

Friday's Ride

Due to some schedule issues, we'll not do the Cape Ann ride tomorrow but rather the East Pepperell to Nashua route. This is a 25 mile route with an elevation of 971'.

The ride goes up through Hollis and the the NW side of Nashua and uses the Broad St. Parkway to go downtown. We'll eat at Seedlings, Riverwalk Cafe, Peddler's Daughter or elsewhere depending on the group's preference. The return trip is via Mine Falls Park, route 111 and the NRRT back to the parking lot at trailside at about 60 Groton St. in East Pepperell.

The ride will leave at 10am.  

Safety Note:   Yesterday was another of those beautiful fall days when it's quite cool in the morning but quickly warms up.  So we use layers on top.  At one point I rolled up my light yellow jacket and tied it around my waist as I've done many times.  On Newtown Rd in Littleton, Hans called out that part of my jacket was in the back wheel.  When I put on the brakes, they grabbed and ate up the jacket and tightened the knot that I had in the jacket in around my waist.  Fortunately, we weren't going too fast so I was able to disengage my shoes and wrestle with the knot. But for a while there, the bike, the jacket and I were one entity.  Had I been going faster I might have gone over the handlebars onto the busy street….

I know only a small number of us will be riding tomorrow but I hope everyone has a nice weekend,

Bill

Wednesday's Rides

Sunny with temps in the mid 50's to high 60's tomorrow in Acton.  Sounds good!

In the morning we'll do the Acton Center - Nagog ride. This recreation ride is 13.7 miles long with an elevation of 688' and goes through NARA Park and around Nagog Lake.

The ride will start at 9:30 and end by 11:30.

Lunch will be at Acton House of Pizza or BYO.

The afternoon fitness ride will be the Acton Center - Boxboro ride of 14.8 miles and 822'.  It will start at 12:30 and end by 2:30.

Parking is behind the Acton Library on off of Woodbury Lane.

Hope to see you there…

Tomorrow morning we'll leave from the Station Ave trail parking area (park facing east) at 9:30 and do the Groton Story Book House  ride. It is 15 miles long and has an elevation of 690'. (How many nursery rhymes' characters do you see?)

We'll have lunch at Filho's (235 Main St) from 11:30 to 12:25.

The afternoon ride will leave at 12:30. It is the Groton-Pepperell-Mount Lebanon ride which is 31 miles and has an elevation of 520'. (Nice foliage?)

I believe these two rides are about the same in terms of recreation/fitness…somewhere in the middle.

The forecast for tomorrow's rides calls for mostly sunny and 60 degrees at 9:30 and cloudy and 66 by 2:30.

See you there.

Friday Ride

Since it's Friday before the long weekend, 

since I'm leaving for the cape at 2, 

since Joel is away camping, 

since the Friday ride is called a Fearless Leader's Ride, I've decided we'll do the 

Carlisle -GBFSP-Hart Pond ride.

We'll start at Center Park in Carlisle, next door to Fern's Country Store at 9:30.

The ride is 16 miles long with an elevation of 720'. Part of the ride is on the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail (we'll stop at Hart Pond) and part goes through the Great Brook Farm State Park.

We can have lunch at Fern's after the ride at 11:30 or so.

See you there.

Next Week's Rides

Stephanie's Cafe hit the spot after Friday's ride:

On Monday we'll ride in Harvard:

We'll park behind the Town Building on Elm St in Harvard

Friday's Ride

And so autumn begins….

Tomorrow, weather permitting, we'll be riding with Stephanie on her new, beautiful Westford route of 24.7 miles and 1335' (=54'/mile) elevation. The ride goes to 4 of the ponds in Westford.

Right now the forecast is for a cloudy day with temps in the low 60s.  There a chance of rain by 2pm.

In addition, Stephanie has invited us to park at her house and have some of her world-famous vegetarian lentil soup after the ride (12:15 or so)!  

Let's be at her house, ready to go at 9:30.  The address is 74 Beaver Brook Rd in Littleton but the house numbers on Beaver Brook are a little crazy, so use these hints:

1. There is a mail box at her driveway and it says "Malone"

2. Her house is between Christopher Road and Woodland Drive, each off of Beaver Brook.  If you're coming from the north (e.g. Groton), her house will be on the right just after Christoper Rd and if you're coming from the south (e.g. Harvard) her house will be on the left just after Woodland Dr.

Hope to see you there!

(Look for a Go- No Go message in the morning.)

Bill

781-248-2624

Wednesday and Friday

No rides tomorrow due to inclement weather.

On Friday, we'll do either Ipswich or Westford. Wind will be the main issue in Ipswich, currently forecasted to be 21mph from the NE with temps in the high 60s…so it will feel even cooler. Whereas in Westford it will be in the low 70s with a 14mph wind.

Happy New Year to those who celebrate Rosh Hashanah!

Regards,

Bill & Joel

Today's ride CHANGE OF TIME

Let's plan to meet at 9:30 at the Bedford Depot.  

According to the forecast, rain may start at 1:00.  So we'll get in as much riding as possible and maybe stop at the Kickstand Cafe in Arlington instead of Dave's.

GO Bedford  9:30

Bill & Joel

Friday's Ride

Due to the weather forecast for clouds and possible rain, we're postponing the Ipswich ride until we get a Friday with nice weather.

Instead, we're planning the Bedford - Somerville ride on the Minuteman Commuter Bike Path and lunch at Dave's Pasta (or any other nice place).

We'll meet at the Bedford Depot (at about 90 Loomis St, Bedford) for a 10:00 departure. 

The ride is about 23 miles and mostly flat.

We'll probably eat on the early side and return by 2:00.

For those who like hills, we'll have 10 minutes of extra exercise in Lexington.

Hope to see you tomorrow.

Bill

Beautiful day for biking

GO - Dunstable

Tomorrow's Rides

The weather tomorrow will be sunny with temps between 63 in the morning and 75 by 2:00.

Lunch will be from 11:30 to 12:30, either BYO or take out from the Farmhouse Cafe (17 Pleasant St)

The afternoon ride will start at 12:30 and be back by 2:30.  It is the Dunstable-Recreation ride.

This Morning's Ride

GO - Hudson

Weather fine, a little cool.

Friday ride

The Hudson weather for tomorrow looks good…. 64 degrees at 10am and about 70 shortly after noon. I'll send an update in the morning with the GO/NOGO message.

We'll meet at 9:30 at the lot behind the Horseshoe Pub at 29 South St and ride the Hudson Stow route.  I just edited the route and made a new one called Hudson Stow When The Trail Is Too Wet in case we need it.

Bring an initialed and signed waiver if you can, along with $10 if you plan to ride more than once this session. 

Please pump up your tires, bring your helmet, water and smile!

See you there!

Bill and Joel

Friday's Ride

Joel and I have changed the route for Friday. It still starts from the same place and is the  Hudson Stow ride which is shorter and less hilly (16.1 miles and 579') so maybe more riders will come along.  This ride uses the upper part of the Assabet River Rail Trail and goes through the Assabet River National Wildlife Refuge and the Delaney Flood Control Site.

The reason for the change is that both of the other Hudson routes we were considering have a blocked road (thanks to Carole for letting us know).

I'll send a reminder tomorrow night.

Bill

Adventurides - Ride on Friday, September 8 - Hudson

Hello Adventuriders

We hope you're all having a great Labor Day weekend and that you have your bikes all ready to go.

We'll be doing either the  Hudson - Asset River Rail Trail route (https://ridewithgps.com/routes/12893443) which is 21 miles long or the Hudson-Berlin-ARRT route (https://ridewithgps.com/routes/12893462)  which is 23 miles.

For lunch we'll go to the Flatbread Rail Trail Co. at 33 Main St. and we'll park and meet behind the Horseshoe Pub at 29 South St in Hudson.  Please park well back of the Pub.  

We'll meet at 9:30 and collect your initialed and signed waivers (see attached) and start the ride at 9:45.  Lunch will be between 12 and 12:30.

You'll note on the map that the New City Microcreamery is right across the street from Flatbread. It's a great place for a reward for a nice ride.

Please remember to bring:

bike

helmet

water

waiver (we'll have extra ones)

full tires

We'll send a reminder on Thursday evening and a GO/NOGO message on Friday morning.

Spring 2017

We want to thank our riders for keeping Adventurides the great biking club that it is and for a fun and safe season.

We are no longer available to lead this month and so the official Spring 2017 has come to a close.  

Overall, 23 riders participated and we had 33 rides.  There were NO flat tires and only one fall that I know of (me) which was due to one of three similar chain problems.

We would love hearing from you as to how you felt the biking season went and any ideas you may have for improvements on topics such as 

routes

policies

decorum

safety

leadership

pace

stops

lunch

etc.

Jane has decided not to co-lead in the fall but we are happy to let you know that Joel Ross has agreed to take her place.

Many thanks to Jane and Joel!!

We hope that you all have a happy, healthy and safe summer!

Sincerely,

Jane and Bill

We'll do the northbound 18 miles in the first two hours, then have lunch. The return trip, which is 12 miles, will take 1 1/4 hours.  

Join us for this wonderful, quite flat ride along the seacoast!
