We had a great ride on 11/06/16 in Hanson. We had sunny skies that disappeared rapidly. We rode in some light rain. The sun returned as soon as reached the parking lot. We had 16 riders brave the rain. The new club jackets are great in the rain.

Tom was flying on the Franklin Street Flush.  All of Franklin Street in Halifax has been paved.  The front group held 23 mph going down the whole thing.

Let’s hope for a sunny date on Friday. On 11/11/16 we will for 50 miles. Average pace will be 15-16 mph. We will leave from Hanson Shaw’s Supermarket Plaza on Route 58.

We will ride through Bridgewater to Easton. We will go around Lake Massapoag in Sharon. A coffee stop will be made at the old French Memories in Sharon Center. We will loop back to Hanson.

RIDE IDEAS AND LEADERS REQUESTED

Just a reminder we are always looking for new ideas. We encourage you to bring the ideas forward. Unlike other bike clubs we are very organic. We are constantly evolving and have a younger fresh membership. Many our of members like touring ideas. We also have those that want to ride hard and fast.

We try to make room for everyone!

We had a nice turnout.  A lot of people did 37 miles on the front group.  We added in some more bogs.  We rode a lot of new pavement.  Many thanks go to the various towns that repaved!  Fuller Street from Togoland to Cedar Street was awesome.

Some of the colors were awesome.  Plus, we saw a few bogs being flooded for the harvesting.  One field was under harvest during the ride.  Expect a few to be harvested during the ride on next Sunday.

We had 20+ riders.  Lots of women rode, today.  One of Mike(Hanson leader)’s goal has been to increase female turn-out.  We are an inclusive club! This includes Arvella, Becky, Diane, Tracy, Maria, Liz, Judy.  Becky set the QOM on the the Half Enchilada Strava Segment.  This is the portion of the ride from the start to Togoland.

We waited at the stop light on Rt 58 to regroup and pause for a few seconds.  Thankfully, we missed the accident that happened on Route 58 northbound.  A dolly went flying from a service station and hit a truck.  This could have been one of us.

We want to see if there interest in ordering another set of the podium jackets for warmer wear.  Please contact Bill.
