This Week - Stow, Bedford, & Pepperell + Party

Dear AdventuRiders,

The weather forecast for tomorrow is looking really nice, mostly Sunny and 50 in the morning, mid 50's in the afternoon.

The morning Fitness Ride features a trip through the Assebet River National Wildlife Refuge. Its only recently been open to bicycling. Along the way we will also ride past Delaney Pond and check out the last paved section of the Assebet River Rail Trail. The route is about 18 miles with a few hills and a bit of off road. Here is a map.

The afternoon Recreation Ride will feature a beautiful unpaved portion of the Assebet River Rail Trail. We will also visit the restored Victorian houses in West Acton on the way back.
