The Bicycle Club for South Shore, Massachsuetts
Due to the technical difficulty of the ride leader deciding to take the polar plunge we do not have a ride leader for the Hanson ride on Sunday. It will be a show’n’go. I suspect that others will show.
Some of us will go to watch Mr. Togo insert himself into the cooling waters found at the L Street Bathhouse. All members are welcome to attend.

Captain Cold(Len) is in close place for #2 on the leaderboard. Tracy made the leaderboard last week with the #3 spot. There was a lot of activity over the last two weeks. Paul took #1 spot with 200+ miles.
The turnout was small but powerful on Sunday. Everyone was in positive spirit and a good time was had. It is still relatively warm at this stage. Wait for January. You will see cold, then!
Look for the Garden Gnome. Most of the routes go past it!
Everyone had a nice ride from Wompatuck on Thursday!
Here is the video from Travis.
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!

We will have a club Time Trial on 07-22. I need to know if you are racing ASAP. I have to set a start sheet. This will be a race against your personal best. Don’t take it too seriously. Let’s just have fun.
We will go to dinner in Halifax after the race. I plan for the first riders to start at 6 PM. Riders go sequentially in time gaps.
