Grist Mill ride

We tried a new a new starting location on August 20.

We parked at the free municipal parking lot in Plymouth.  Yes, there is a free lot.  We went for a nice ride along many of the recently paved roads in the cranberry country. Somehow, OCipollini managed to find a number of fresh roads with low traffic counts.

The ride went along the infamous Billington Sea.  We headed into Myles Standish Forest.  There were a few mini-rollers in the Forest.  Most of them were on fresh and black tarmac.  We stopped at the Ranger’s station for a break.

We continued into the cranberry country and went past many of the cranberry bogs of Carver and Middleboro.  We went west and were close to the Lakeville line.  We were not too far from the other Cranberry route that we developed.

It was a great ride.  We went for coffee and sandwiches after the ride.  In the picture below Dan had disappeared.  Len took the picture.

Climb to Clouds century

Here are some photos of the crew at the Climb to Clouds Century.  The century was a ride to the top of Mount Wachusett.  The CRW runs this century.  It has about 6,000 feet of climbing in 100 miles.  The climb to Mount Wachusetts is about 4 miles of hard climbing.

In this picture Wes is on the return to the start.

Mount Wachusett is one of the highest peaks in the eastern region of Massachusetts.  The tallest is Mount Greylock(you can pedal up that one). It hosts a ski resort during the winter.  The area is famous with hikers as well.
