Party Videos and WinterWalks

Dear AdventuRiders,

Thanks to everyone for making our 12th season such a success! We couldn't do it without you.

We did 37 rides that covered 630 miles and visited almost 50 cities and towns in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. We also participated in the (very soggy) Maine Lighthouse Ride and the (delightful) Seacoast Century Ride.


Here are some videos that Alex took at the End of Season Party. Thanks Alex!!!


A bit of business to take care of: If you get two copies of this email, you are already on the WinterWalks mailing list. Otherwise, you need to sign up at winterwalks.blogspot.com to receive further winter activities mailings. The AdventuRides list needs to rest :-)


Now that I am emerging from my Thanksgiving food coma, I would like to propose a WinterWalk to the Andres Art Institute in Brookline, NH. The weather is looking very nice for Friday.

I would describe Andres Art Institute as a vertical Decordova Museum. It is at the old Bear Hill Ski Area and the woods are filled with various " ob·jet d'art ". Its very fun to check out the art and have a great hike too! The view from the top of the hill is very nice too.


On Friday, December 4th, we will meet at the Andres Art Institute in Brookline, NH. According to Google Maps, its only 20 minutes from Groton. Here is a map.

• At 10:00 AM, We will leave the parking lot. Here is a trail map.
  
• Sometime, We will have lunch. We can always go to Parker's Maple Barn. The food is respectable and the atmosphere is delightful.
  

Hope to see you there,
Bill

End of Season Ride and Party

Dear AdventuRiders,

Here is what we have so far for the party:

• Alcohol, beer, wine, etc - Bill
  
• Gefilte fish and horseradish - Alex
• Enchanted Broccoli Forest - Jane
• Appetizer – mango slices/goat cheese/honey - Joe
• Stuffed acorn squash - Carole
• Wheat bulgar confetti salad - Darlene

It looks like we're pretty well covered except maybe dessert. Come join the fun on Monday! Everyone is invited.


They have taken the rain out of the Monday forecast, but its still supposed to be Mostly Cloudy and in the mid 40's.

The morning Combination Ride will start at Carole's house in Groton. We will visit Lost Lake, Duck Pond, and Knops Pond on our way to the Stone Arch Bridge. From there it is off to Cow Pond Brook and the Red Line trail. On the way back we will ride through the Black Land and Burnt Meadow Road. The route is about 15 miles long will some rolling hills. There will be quite a bit of civilized off road and gravel. Here is a map.


On Monday, November 23rd, we will meet at Carole's House in Groton. Here is a map.

• At 9:30 AM - we will leave for our last official adventure of the season :-( Here is a map.
• At 12:00 Noon - PARTY!!!

Hope to see you there,
Bill and Carole

End of Season PARTY!!!

Dear AdventuRiders,

I hope you got a chance to get outside this afternoon for the beautiful weather! Stupid weatherman, ^%@#$ ...

Anyhow, its time to get ready for the End Of Season PARTY. This season, we are going to have a pot luck lunch at Carole's house on Monday, November 23rd at noon. Not only are we going to have great food, great drink, and great companionship, we are also going to have a meet-and-greet with Carole's goats. Everyone is invited! Oh yeah, if the weather cooperates, we will have a morning combination ride too.

To minimize the number of duplicate dishes, I have opened up the mailing list so that anyone can post a message. Just reply to this email with what you plan to bring to the party. Please, no shell fish or pork dishes.

I will start by offering to bring the alcohol, beer, wine, glasses, and whatever else seems appropriate for the occasion.


Hope to see you there,
Bill and Carole


PS. If the real Carlin doesn't show up, I will have the virtual Carlin on standby...
