Spin to Stow - April 12, 2023

RIDE REPORT

Wednesday, 12 April 2023, Spin to Stow

Ride Leader:  Marc Baskin

40 miles, 10:30 am start from Weston, MA

Bikers (7):  Marc, Curt Dudley-Marling, Frank Scibilia, Julie Dodd, Mary Kernan, Richard French, and first-timer Richard Saffran.

Present at lunch:  Helen Greitzer.

With a small, but eager, group of riders, on a warm, but windy, day, we rode out in a northwesterly direction, going to both West Concord and West Acton.  We then turned south through Stow and came back along the Assabet River National Wildlife Refuge.

We stopped midway at what used to be a Dunkin’ Donuts, but has now become a "Mug and Muffin."  Julie Dodd, saved the day when one of our riders had a flat, about 1.5 miles from the end of the ride.  Julie raced back to her car and returned to pick up the stranded rider.

For me, the high point of the ride was having a delightful lunch at Dumpling Daughter with WW coordinator, Helen Greitzer.
