We will ride again next week! I hope to see a lot of people in Norwell on Saturday. The weather should be great for next weekend.  Many were hiding their SSB jerseys underneath those wind jackets due to the gusting winds.  Many brave souls braved the ride, today.  In the middle of the first picture Travis is wearing his podium jacket.

We had a nice turnout. Riders included Don, Sean, Rob, Lauren, Vito, Tracy, Pam, Ilene, Mike,John, Tom, Chris, the other Don, Mohammed, Travis, Aruba Tom, Ian, and a few more. I was surprised that we had so many riders with the reports of a wind watch and such from the National Weather Service. There was a strong headwind on 105. A bunch did the 32 mile route. Others did the short route. The wind would gust at times.

We had a great coffeehour after the ride at the Dunkin’!

Thanks to everyone for making this a strong club.

Example of the podium jackets

Mike Togo will supervise another run of Podium Jackets. These are nice jackets to wear for the winter riding. We need a minimum of 5 to order. Mike will have the order closed within the week.https://www.dnacycling.biz/ssb/team-gear.html is the link to the club store.

I am wearing a 3XL. Many of the ladies and guys fit a large or perhaps a medium. These jackets do not run similar to the jerseys in cut. The jackets come in Race cut only. Therefore, you have to size up. Take a look at the sizing charts.

Thanks,
Bill O’Hara

This weekend 10-08-16

We will ride the Coastal route on Saturday.  We roll at 9 AM from the Norwell High School.

The Hanson ride is on Sunday at 9AM.  We roll from the Shaw’s Supermarket Plaza.  Check out the ride details page.  There is a map on Strava and you can export a TCX file.  Mike Togo has prepared cue sheets. The new route is different from the 2015-2016 route.  There was some road construction on the old route.  We will go on a new routing that features freshly laid pavement.

The South Shore Bikers winter ride has started.  This ride is great for those that want to ride to the start.  New members are welcome.  It is easy to reach Hanson from towns such as Duxbury or Bridgewater.

Wear your new kit jackets!

The Hanson ride returns for the fall. We ride through the winter. Many days feature warm opportunities. 55F and a clear sunny day is a remarkable thing. Try it.

We will have 32mile and 20 mile loops for 10/9/16. We will have moderate and slower pace groups. On the following weekend we hope to have some longer distances with higher pacing; Bill will not be there on the 10/9/16 date.

See strava for a MAP and TCX file. The TCX file can provide turn by turn directions on your Garmin.

The address is 470 Liberty Street in Hanson. We park in the Shaw’s Supermarket Plaza. Look towards the eastern side of the parking lot.

We will roll promptly at 9 AM. Coffee will be after the ride.
