17.2 miles on gravel paths and trails in Wellesley, Needham, and Dover. A greatly de-tuned version of a training ride used by the local CX racers. Meet at 10:00 AM at the entrance to the Wellesley High School parking lot. Although it's about the same length as the Wednesday Battle Rd ride, it takes about 2X the time. More climbing and the terrain has more texture. Bring a gravel or mountain bike. You'll want RWGPS on your smart phone or a GPS device with a map interface. I recommend NOT loading the route until the morning of the ride since there may be last minute changes. Any questions, call, text, or email Gene at 617-610-1875 or ho.eugene@verizon.net.
THE RIDE IS ON.
The weather forecast calls for no rain shortly before or during the ride. But, there will be no lack of residual water. I suggest wearing rain gear anyways. And, put a fender on if you have one.
