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.

The tradition continues

2017 snow pictureWe took our annual snow photograph, today.  Every year we take a picture to show the snow!  The snow was really high this year.  The roads were clear.  We had a temperature of approximately 35F.  So, sadly, the snow is melting.  Make sure you join our Strava group!  The link to the club page is off to the right.

Most did the 25 mile route from Hanson, today.  At Hanson we have a relatively flat route.  It takes approximately 1:30 to finish the route.  We went for coffee after the ride at the Dunkin’ Donuts.

We will ride next week on January 22.  We roll at 9AM, sharp.  We meet at the Shaw’s Supermarket plaza in Hanson (470 Liberty Street Hanson).

Year in review

Our videoman is Travis.  Many thanks go to him for taking video, editing it, and publishing on a regular basis.  It adds a lot to our website. He takes some wonderful videos of our biking throughout the various rides.  Some of the footage includes montages that feature photographs taken by others.

Some great video is shown from our annual skunk tour in which we travese the great island of Martha’s Vineyard on a social tour.

The most recent annual snow picture is also included!
