Ride Description:
The short ride goes through Concord, Acton, Littleton, Westford, and Carlisle. The long ride adds Stow and Harvard. The long ride passes an impressive array of apple orchards, while taking in a few hills. The ride is named "Apple Pi" since the original arrow was in the shape of the Greek Letter pi. There are still some of these arrows remaining.
There will be a group led at 10-12 mph for the 35 mile ride.

It may be open by the day of the ride, but just in case ...
