The Bicycle Club for South Shore, Massachsuetts
The difference between Saturday and Sunday was 5 degrees. Sunday was at 35F. Andy is wearing his Lake 303 winter boots. I will polish mine. Saturday was a nice ride through Sharon, Foxboro, Canton, and Milton. Many of us rode up the Moose Hill Grade. We did the Hanson ride on Sunday which found the temperature dropping from the “warm” times of Saturday.
Hanson ride is next Sunday at 9AM.
Captain Cold(Len) is in close place for #2 on the leaderboard. Tracy made the leaderboard last week with the #3 spot. There was a lot of activity over the last two weeks. Paul took #1 spot with 200+ miles.
The turnout was small but powerful on Sunday. Everyone was in positive spirit and a good time was had. It is still relatively warm at this stage. Wait for January. You will see cold, then!
Look for the Garden Gnome. Most of the routes go past it!
We had a great ride. Many riders turned up to brave the chilling wind. It was blowing at 5mph. It lowered the temperature to 60F. With this adversity we soldiered through the cranberry bogs.
We had 4 groups. A group, B group, C group, and the short group. There will be video highlights, soon.
The A group rode 35 miles at 18mph. The B group averaged 17mph. We had about 25 riders, all together.
Tom and I were flying on Ring Road. Lots of fun was had.

The Hanson ride is a go for 9 AM on Sunday. See you there.
National Weather predicts a high of 60F and sunny skies. We know how that one can play. However, I am hoping for great weather!
Please be ready to roll at 9 AM, sharp.
Thanks,
Bill
Wednesday Bikers roll at 10am from Wompatuck on Thursday. Please be ready to roll at 10AM, sharp. Let’s ride in the dry.
