Pam and Judy will be heading to RAGBRAI, soon.

We roll from Norwell on next Saturday.  Some of us with will ride with the Apostles on their special Fourth of July celebration.  It will be a fun next weekend.  There will be plenty of barbeques and new decks to see.

People are asking questions about 13494778_10208764355281653_1604678164621695016_nthe new jerseys.  You can order them via the webstore at https://www.dnacycling.biz/ssb/team-gear.html.

It was hot during the last weekend.  We rode with the MS150 crowd for a while on Saturday.  They took over our Coastal route.  Over 3,000 bikers rolled through Cohasset and Scituate.

We met a lot of the Yaegerdogs.  We rolled with them.  At Coffee corner we hid in the shade on the side of the building.  The sun was collecting on us.  Notice one person in the picture was wearing his solar sleeves.  He should have been wearing his South Shore Bikers jersey!

Mike Togo and Andy Brand led us a great adventure through the flat countryside south of Middleboro on the Sunday.  We actually went into Wareham via Thinonet road.  This takes you past the Ocean Spray cranberry processing center.  So, we were still in the cranberry country.  However, we saw lots of other crops.

I did have to stop at the intersection for a tractor on more than one occasion.  The area is not like southern Illinois.  There are few hills.  It is not like Indiana as the roads are paved.  It is own unique farming community.  Something that you might not notice in the busy hubbub of Boston or consider as part of Massachusetts.

Anyways, it was a great ride on Sunday.  Travis, Mike, Lori, Action Jack, Allison, and I were in the front group practicing pacelining for awhile. We stopped for coffee at some shop in Rochester.  It was an enjoyable day.

Brian makes it a special ride

Brian being notty Here is a picture of Brian in front of the some of the Saturday crowd.  You know that he took the picture himself.  He says that the ride is better just because he rode with us.  What do you think?  Many of us are not sure. 🙂

It was a great Father’s day weekend.  During the week many of us rode with Crack’o’dawn club to Provincetown from Plymouth.  This is a favorite ride of many members.  Judy has been doing it for years.  Mohammed’s first P220160615_073401P was on Wednesday.  Glenn did it for his third time.  Arvella is in the CycleLife jersey, but she is a South Shore Biker, too.  John is on the left.

You can order your South Shore Biker kits, now.  Go to the DNA Cycling webstore at https://www.dnacycling.biz/ssb/team-gear.html.

Thanks,
