The Quabbin Tour is coming up. We will run a SAG vehicle…it’s the white Subaru with 4 bike racks. I plan on having a stop at the convenience store in 202 and possibly 1 or 2 additional stops. This year we will go into the town of Petersham for a stop at the General Store overlooking the common after the stop on 202. The worst climb really is the “Monster” toward the beginning of the ride. Once you made it, then you are home free.

The route is slightly different from the prior years; each year features a bit of variation. Expect this to be 4 hours on the saddle. We want to go at a reasonable pace. Steady wins the war. Zippy doesn’t make up the final climb. The last climb will be onto the observation road for the Tower overlooking the Quabbin.

The C group will roll on the 37 clockwise Coastal Loop on Saturday at 8:00 AM. Please register at https://www.strava.com/clubs/186760/group_events/1147234. I will be riding in the C group depending on whether the Orthopedic provides me with the clearance.

What’s more fun than a January century?! Come try out all of the awesome cold weather cycling gear Santa brought you for a relaxed pace ride through the South Shore. We will start in Hanover where the weekend coastal loops start, and make our way down to Marion for a stop at Uncle Johns 37 miles in. We will then loop through Rochester, Acushnet, Lakeville and Freetown before making our way back north through Middleborough and through East Bridgewater before heading back to the start.

This route hits many roads traveled on various club routes. This will be a relaxed pace, 16-17mph average at most.

We will stop at mile 37 at Uncle Johns (there is a convenience store around the corner) and we we will stop at mile 72 at a Cumbys.

Snow or extremely cold temperatures could cancel.
