Ashland and Beyond - March 29, 2017

RIDE REPORT

Wednesday, 29 March 2017, Ashland and Beyond
Ride Leader:  Alan Cantor
37 miles, 10:00 am start from Shaw's Plaza parking lot, Ashland, MA

Riders (11):  Alan, Dmitry Gorenburg, Frank Hubbard, Judith McMichael, Julie Dodd, Kim Wach, Marc Baskin, Mike Byrne, Richard Vignoni, Rick Carlson, and Russ Keene.

Ten intrepid riders joined me for a wonderful romp through southern Metrowest.  The roads were wet and the temperatures cool, but this did not deter these wonderful people.

With this small a peloton and judging the riding abilities to be pretty much even, we rode without a sweep and did not arrow.  This proved to work, as we needed only a couple of regroups.  There was one mechanical issue when Rick’s crank arm almost came off his bike.  This caused a delayed arrival of Russ and Rick at the only long stop we took.  No big deal here, as Russ had the tools to make the on-road repair.

A grand time was had by all. Four riders stayed in the area to enjoy local cuisine for lunch.
