It looks like the first full day of Fall will be fairly summer-like. Tomorrow is going mostly cloudy and 70 degrees in the morning and mid 70's in the afternoon. There is a chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon, so we'll need to keep an eye on the iPhone :-)
Joe and I did this ride last week and we got to Nashua early, so we actually did some exploring and found some nice off road that bypasses much of the traffic in Downtown Nashua.
In the morning we be riding through the farms and orchards in Hollis. After we get to Nashua, we will go to the Merrimac River at Greeley Park and then ride past the fine Victorian homes on our way downtown. We will ride past Margherita's and have a moment of silence for Carlin :-) before continuing across the river on a bike path and riding along the river to downtown.
Lunch will be at Martha's Exchange in Downtown Nashua: Great food and micro-brewed beer! I had the
Will's Fault Wicked Good Beah
Will said we should make this beah cuz it was wicked good. Supah smooth. Coppah cullahed. Drinkable to the max.
After lunch we will head back by way of Mine Falls Park where we will visit the falls on the Nashua River. Then its back to the farms and orchards of Hollis.
The route is about 25 miles long and is mostly downhill in the morning and mostly uphill in the afternoon. I reversed the direction of the ride from last year, so the hills back to Hollis are not as steep and are well spaced out. There will be quite a bit of civilized offroad and gravel roads on the route. Here is a map. Everyone is welcome.
On Wednesday, September 23th, we will meet at the Lawrence Barn in Hollis, NH (PortaPotty equipped). The nearest intersection is Depot Road and Richardson Road.
- At 9:30 AM - We will leave for Nashua.
- Lunch will be at Martha's Exchange in Downtown Nashua.
- At 2:15 PM - We will be back.
Hope to see you there,
Bill and Carole
