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
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.

Linda on the MS Global in New York State
Linda rode MS Global during the past week. She raised a lot of money for the Multiple Sclerosis fund. Vito was also riding as a crew chief. The South Shore Bikers were well represented.
In the picture above was Tyler Hamilton with Linda. Linda would ride with him over the past 7 days. Tyler Hamilton raced for gold in the Olympics.
Great Norwell
We had fun at the Coastal Route, today. It was not oppressively hot, either.
We had a good ride. Craig, Travis, and I rode for the 37 mile route. It is 39 miles with the box. We are working on new routes to keep it fresh and different. The 39 miles on the new route could feature a coffee stop at the other “French Memories.”
We had 24 starters for the ride, today. Most rode the 30 mile route. Vito met the group at Coffee Corner. We saw some of the Blue Hills gang roll through border street at Z5; this means that they were racing past us.
We had new rider, Steve, that joined the group. The weather was perfect in comparison to some of those tough days of a few weeks past. We will keep the ride at 8 AM for a few more weekends, but eventually we will move to a 9AM start-time.
The new pavement on Circuit street is wonderful. Some of the shots are from Circuit street. Some rode over the million dollar mile. Others went up the repaved Pleasant St. Circuit to Pleasant is completely new!
