The Bicycle Club for South Shore, Massachsuetts
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. 🌬️🚴♀️🚴♂️

South Shore Bikers will have a new start location for the Wednesday night rides in 2017. We will meet at the Cumberland Farms plaza in Halifax. It is located at the intersection of Route 58 and Route 106. Healthy Habits Nutrition is located in the plaza. They offer recovery shakes.
Our Wednesday rides will start on May 10th. The start time is 6PM. Please be ready to roll at 6PM. If you have road headlights and taillights, then please bring them.
Safety is critical on this ride. You must the follow the ride leader’s instructions at all times. We will travel on quiet country roads but we also will travel on roads such as Route 58, which have a wide shoulder but will contain lots of workers traveling home to their families.
We will meet at the Cumberland Farms plaz
a at the intersection of Route 58 and Route 106. The ride leader is Linda. The ride will be 2 hours in length. The routes vary at the discretion of the ride leader. The plan is to utilize most of the available sunlight.
Judy and Pam are getting ready for RAGBRAI. Judy and Pam lead our women’s g
roup. Pam works on teaching paceling and ride etiquette. Arvella rode with them on a 50 mile practice run, yesterday. RAGBRAI is a giant ride across Iowa. On July 25th they ride across all of the great state of Iowa. Judy will take lots of pictures.
I am sure that there will be a picture of their stop in New York, Iowa. Go to the RAGBRAI website to learn about their route. They also have gravel route options!

We will have a club Time Trial on 07-22. I need to know if you are racing ASAP. I have to set a start sheet. This will be a race against your personal best. Don’t take it too seriously. Let’s just have fun.
We will go to dinner in Halifax after the race. I plan for the first riders to start at 6 PM. Riders go sequentially in time gaps.
