The Hanson Ride

The South Shore Bikers winter ride has started. This ride is great for those that want to ride to the start. New members are welcome. It is easy to reach Hanson from towns such as Duxbury or Bridgewater.

Wear your new kit jackets!

See https://www.strava.com/routes/6667249 for the route file. You can download a TCX from Strava to import into your Garmin. You Garmin(touring, 820, or 1000) can provide turn-by-turn directions.

The Hanson ride returns for the fall. We ride through the winter. Many days feature warm opportunities. 55F and a clear sunny day is a remarkable thing. Try it.

We will have 32mile and 20 mile loops for 10/9/16. We will have moderate and slower pace groups. On the following weekend we hope to have some longer distances with higher pacing; Bill will not be there on the 10/9/16 date.

See strava for a MAP and TCX file. The TCX file can provide turn by turn directions on your Garmin.

The address is 470 Liberty Street in Hanson. We park in the Shaw’s Supermarket Plaza. Look towards the eastern side of the parking lot.

We will roll promptly at 9 AM. Coffee will be after the ride.

Westport Ride

Save the date. We will have a touring ride of the South Coast on October 2. We will meet at the Westport Public Library. Roll at 9AM, sharp. Please advise us a headcount prior to the ride.

See https://www.strava.com/clubs/186760/group_events/119098?new=true for a map.

This route has a stop at a new coffee shop by the state line. We will also roll past Lee’s Market. The general store at Rock’o’Dundee is no more.

Thanks,

Bill

Final days of Summer

The last Marshfield ride of the season will be on Wednesday, August 31. The ride start is from Furnace Brook Middle School in Marshfield. We roll at 6PM, sharp. Let’s hope that we can have this ride again for the next year. It has been off to a good start. The ride was initiated late in the season. You have to come to the weekly rides every week. Otherwise, no one actually shows! It can’t just be there for when you need it. You have to go and support your clubmates.

The ride on Saturday will be from Norwell High School. We will ride 30 to 50 miles depending on the interests of the attendees.

Last week, we had about 8 riders choose the 30 mile option. 8 other riders went for the 50 mile route. The 50 mile route has about 1800 feet of elevation gain in 50 miles. The 50 mile route features some rolling hills in Marshfield followed by a return to Scituate via the roads of Cohasset and a portion of the Coastal Route.
