Some stopped to take pictures at the various Halloween spots. In the above picture is Andy, Pam, Maria, and Judy.  Maria is wearing the new podium 14590418_10209933260343549_4223094256235141248_njackets from DNA cycling that we ordered.  Toasty!  There is a second order of the jackets that is being fulfilled.  We will also make swaps with people to handle sizing errors.  Mike Togo is managing the jacket order.

In the picture to the left is most of the B and C groups at Togoland.  Togoland used to be actually laid in a different configuration from when we first created this route.  It has changed a little bit.  The town improved the safety of the roadway by changing the mouth of Fuller road and the intersection.  Togoland is located at Fuller and Thompson Street in Middleboro.

At Togoland

There was great turnout for the Hanson ride.  We had several groups. We had 40 riders.  Many rode 35 miles.  We had a new member, Eric, from Pennsy.  He just moved here! A large number of the group

rode the 28 mile route through Fuller street and Franklin street.  Franklin street was repaved last month. This section runs past the infamous Corn Maze.  The transformation of the riding experience is immense.  Instead of riding a death trap full of people sized potholes we had fresh and smooth asphalt without any breaks.  Irish Liz and John lead a group.  Greg also lead another B group.  Mike lead the C group and Judy lead a C group on the 32 mile loop.
