We’ll ride from Norwell High School tomorrow (Sunday 11/12) starting at 10AM for the 30-mile ride to Scituate Harbor and back. Coffee stop in Scituate at the Dunkin’ Donuts. It’s gonna be a cold one, so we’ll stop as often as we need and not drop anybody. Nothing too fast as wind chill will be a factor. Good luck to us all. 🌬️🚴♀️🚴♂️

Labor Day Weekend in review
We will have to move to fall/winter operating hours, soon. It has starting to be nippy in the mornings. The traffic patterns have also been changing. Starting next week the Coastal Loop will have a semi-permanent detour. The bridge in Cohasset over Atlantic avenue will be closed until June of 2018.
As I write this Coach Tony is in second place on the weekly leaderboard. Can he take the top mileage spot?
Let’s have a celebratory dinner for a great season at Plaza Aztec in Hingham on September 23. Please RSVP at https://www.facebook.com/events/501042453583222.
We had a good ride on Saturday. Sunday has been annulled due to the rain. Ian lead the A group. Mike lead the Mellow Group. See you next weekend.

NHS Ride Saturday, August 26, 2017
We had 3 new riders this morning; Karen, Buzzy and Jack. We had more than a dozen riders with two groups riding. It was a cool at the start of the ride, but warmed up quickly. We had coffee at the Coffee Corner. After the ride we were able to get a couple people up and running on Strava.
I would like to thank the mello riders for waiting patiently as we gave aid to an unaffiliated rider who had taken a fall in the box. As you can see in the pictures, his pedal broke off along with his mirror. He was okay and called for assistance from a friend who was on her way when we left.
