Ride Description:
Come take a tour around the Wachusett Reservoir and reward yourself with ice cream at Erikson's Dairy at the end. The ice cream is on us (1 small ice cream), but you will earn your treat, as the long and medium routes climb Wattaquadock Hill in Bolton. 37 mile route omits Wachusset reservoir loop. The 24 mile route omits both the reservoir and Wattaquadock Hill. But all three routes climb Long Hill Road in Bolton (like I said, you will earn that ice cream!) but it's worth it.
This is a limited rider event so sign up early!
Please note Erikson's doesn't open until 11:00 so pace yourself accordingly.
Paced Groups:
John O'Dowd will lead a 15-16 mph average group for the 58 mile route
Frank Scibilia will lead a 15-16 mph average group for the 38 mile route
Ellen Gugel will lead a 12-14 no-drop group on the 38 mile route
Francine Sparks will lead a 10-12 mph average group for the 24 mile route
Everyone is welcome to ride at their own pace!
Riders must provide their own route navigation. It will be hot; bring adequate water and food, especially for the long route. Do the long route only if you are sure you can do it! there will be two rest stops for the long route, one for the medium route and short route.
