- 9:30AC-/11.82626.226.20SUNY Purchase to HappinessAaron Pinero
It should be at least warm enough to get back on the road this weekend, so let's try this modified version of the Fling route that has a stop at Happiness in Banksville at 15.5 miles. I plan to take it easy as this will be my first significant cycling distance in a while. If you'd like to join in and bravely face some winter riding, wipe the dust off your kit, give your bike a little maintenance love, and lets meet up in the W1 lot at SUNY Purchase on Saturday around 9:15am. We'll roll right at 9:30am.

Arrive 15 minutes early and be ready to leave on time.

Friends, come out for this early season metric century to help me prepare for the 84-mile (gulp!) Natchaug Epic on March 29.
Ample notice for this ride so no excuses! We'll stop at least once to refuel at Union Market. I hope by mid-March the Mountain Lakes climb will be clear of snow and passable, but if we haven't be releived of the cold and snow by then we'll skip it.
Bring all you need to sustain yourself for each kilometer! Afterwards perhaps we'll celebrate with a beer and sandwich at Paulie's.

- 10AB-/153636.036.00Birthday ride! Almost Boyd's and BackWest Rapoport
Please join me for my birthday ride. Yes, it is today. I am posting this ride for everyone to join. A get together of friends. If the pace is slower, who cares? Lol!
The ride is not too long, not too short, not too hilly, not too flat. Short, sweet and nothing tough.
We can stop in Carmel at mile 18 or the bagel place down the hill at mile 19. . Bring plenty of hydration, your favorite snacks, a bike in good working order (charged, sealant) tubes and a big smile. We leave at 10 am
Bonus: Snacks at the end of the ride. Hope to see many of you.

- 9AB/185151.051.0050 Mile Double Century Training RideBruce Wells
This is the classic Fast Flat Fifty mile ride. We will ride it at a brisk clip with lots of pacelines and regroup at the top of climbs and at turns to keep the group together. This ride will be faster than the actual 200 mile ride, but will give everyone a good idea of the type of group riding we will need to complete at 200 mile ride at a slower pace.

- 9AC/13.25150.550.50Cape Ann sightseeing tour (Day 1 of 2)Larry Koved
Enjoy the sights of picturesque Cape Ann, Massachusetts. We will be riding along the southern coast, visiting villages such as Manchester-by-the-Sea, Gloucester and Rockport (or beyond!). The departure is a location in Gloucester along our main route.
At the west end of the ride is David S. Lynch Memorial Park, where we'll be able to see Salem, MA across the Rams Horn Channel on the Danvers River. The park is situated on a point with views of the Atlantic Ocean to the East and Woodbury Cove to the west. At one time U.S. President William Howard Taft summered on the property. The site of his summer residence is now an elaborate Italianate Garden with a tea house. The Park also boasts a Carriage House.
On the east end of the ride is the quaint village of Rockport. Along the way we will see beautiful and historic homes, castles, scenic beaches, and seaport villages.
The tentative RWG link is posted based on the route I used last year. There are lots of ways to cut the distance if going out to Rockport is too far for you. This is an easy ride, with most of the ride near sea level. No big / long hills. Easier than a typical WCC C ride.
Here are a few pictures from last year. If we're lucky, we might get some moderate fall foliage as well.
No official lodging location is planned. Contact me if you would like suggestions of a (somewhat) reasonably priced place along or near the route.

- 9AC/13.22727.327.30Salem and Marblehead tour (Day 2 of 2)Larry Koved
Leaving from the David Lynch Memorial park in Beverly, MA, cruise the streets of historic Salem, MA. Maybe we'll get to feel the Halloween vibe. Then head south to the Marblehead and cruise around the peninsula, along the coastline where we can. Take in the autumn sights, beautiful and historic homes, harbors and beaches. It's a relatively short ride, with time for lunch, and hopefully be able to hit the road before rush hour traffic.

We ride through many historic fishing villages in Marblehead, as well as the historic fishing village of Salem.
The route is very flat.
Here are a few pictures from last year. If we're lucky, we might get some moderate fall foliage as well. The RWG is tentative and likely to be updated - especially between Beverly and Salem where there was road construction last year.
