Final days of Summer

The last Marshfield ride of the season will be on Wednesday, August 31. The ride start is from Furnace Brook Middle School in Marshfield.  We roll at 6PM, sharp.  Let’s hope that we can have this ride again for the next year.  It has been off to a good start.  The ride was initiated late in the season.  You have to come to the weekly rides every week.  Otherwise, no one actually shows!  It can’t just be there for when you need it.  You have to go and support your clubmates.

The ride on Saturday will be from Norwell High School.  We will ride 30 to 50 miles depending on the interests of the attendees.

Last week, we had about 8 riders choose the 30 mile option.  8 other riders went for the 50 mile route.  The 50 mile route has about 1800 feet of elevation gain in 50 miles.  The 50 mile route features some rolling hills in Marshfield followed by a return to Scituate via the roads of Cohasset and a portion of the Coastal Route.

Climb to Clouds century

Here are some photos of the crew at the Climb to Clouds Century.  The century was a ride to the top of Mount Wachusett.  The CRW runs this century.  It has about 6,000 feet of climbing in 100 miles.  The climb to Mount Wachusetts is about 4 miles of hard climbing.

In this picture Wes is on the return to the start.

Mount Wachusett is one of the highest peaks in the eastern region of Massachusetts.  The tallest is Mount Greylock(you can pedal up that one). It hosts a ski resort during the winter.  The area is famous with hikers as well.
