Hanson ride 10-23-16 report
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.
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
The Hanson Ride
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!
See https://www.strava.com/routes/6667249 for the route file. You can download a TCX from Strava to import into your Garmin. You Garmin(touring, 820, or 1000) can provide turn-by-turn directions.
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.

Judy and Pam get ready for RAGBRAI
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!
