 RIDE REPORT

 

Wednesday, 21 October 2026, Circling Wachusett Foliage Ride
Ride Leader:  Ellen Gugel
39 miles, 10:00 am start from West Sterling, MA.

Riders (5):  Ellen, Francine Sparks, John Trotter, Steve Hoffenberg, and Wing Chow

It was a beautiful day for a fall bike ride – moderate temperatures, mainly sunny.  Foliage was a little past peak, but still some color.  The photo at our lunch stop at the base of Mt. Wachusett was taken by Francine.  The other one I took of Francine and John at one of the prettiest, quietest spots on the route.  Two other riders missed it and went ahead where we met one of them for lunch.  The other continued on his own.

Everyone praised the route.  Many thanks to Richard Vignoni for this wonderful ride – very little traffic, beautiful rural scenery, views, and hills.
