"You may not be interested in war, but war may be interested in you"  -  Leon Trotsky.  Located between several of CRW's most frequenty traveled roads is the one of the country's best museums that no one has ever heard of.  The American Heritage Museum - Tanks, Guns (big ones!), Cars, and Planes,  A towering testament to testosterone.  Pull yourself away from the "Call of Duty" keyboard and the nightly news.  See the stuff IRL.  All the exhibits are open including the car barn and aircraft hanger. Starts in Concord at the Keyes St parking lot.  Meet on the side opposite the rest rooms.  The  Museum admission is $25 if you want to see it.  It's an event weekend with tank driving demos and rides.  There is a lot to see - allow some time for this.  Pace - If there are enough riders, I'll stagger the start by speed groups so people can ride with compatible pace partners.  Otherwise it'll be catch as catch can.  I'm coming off an injury and will be even slower than my typical torpid pace.    Any questions - email the ride leader.  With a forecast of hot weather over the weekend, I've added a shorter version of the route with a length of 34 miles.
