BVNEMBA Wed Ride, 8/29, Sutton, MA

[BadDNA]

I'm out of town this week but Kevin Schleicher has volunteered to lead a ride at the trails off of Mendon Rd in Sutton. Details are below, please be mindful of parking and keep the cars on one side of the street to permit traffic to move by. This is not a race, nobody will be dropped, helmets are required. If you have a light Kevin has suggested bringing it, there will be a shorter loop I understand for those without, but anyone with one who would like to ride longer will be able to. Have a good ride this week, be safe, I look forward to seeing you all when I get back.

I have no problem leading the ride next Wednesday @ the trails on mendon rd in sutton. As long as parking along the road won't be a problem (hopefully rich gets to you soon on that). I think people should bring lights if they got em, cause it well get dark sooner, and it should be made clear to be ready to go @6pm promptly because that is when we will head out. Light is short.


Here is a map link I created to about where the parking lot is. I assume you have been there, the parking is at a bend in the road that has a dirt pull off with a brown gate, and a kiosk, there is no real address that I am aware of.

The usually looking for a ride back to worcester post.... Anyone heading this way after the ride?

[strangeland2]

Yeah I know you would. I was hoping to find someone already coming out here so you dont have to drive all the way to worcester when you re riding 5 minutes from your house.

I plan to ride out there. I think i can do it in an hour.

[strangeland2]

Great so what time should I meet you in millbury. HAHa

That was a great place to ride; wish I had been feeling better and could have kept up with everyone. Gee, it is really getting dark quick these days - time for the helmet light. To those who built the trails - keep up the good work - they are a blast.

It was a great ride. Apparently I did a little damage yesterday though. Went to ride singletary today. Rode to the cvs in millbury to meet kevin then we went over to singletary. About 2 minutes into the ride I hear a stick in my back rim look down dont see anything but still hear it so we stopped. Definitely no stick so whats the problem. While looking we notice some pretty significant damage to the back tire. Tubes bubbling out and everything. Then kevin found the spoke that broke. Doooh!!! I remember a few times thinking some of the squeezes between rocks were a little tight.. obviously they were very tight lol

Awesome ride. I loved every bit of the trails over there. Same here, be glad to give a hand when everyone is out working on the trails. Sorry to hear about the damage though.

Where's all the video Kevin? ;)

[Dorraine65]

Hey, what time did you guys get back to the cars?

[Dorraine65]

You must have arrived right after I pulled out. It was very dark...time for the helmet light!
