Ride Description:

A CRW classic! All routes offer a mix of suburban and rural riding, with terrain varying from gradual grades to downright hilly. The short ride hits the Towns of Chelmsford, Westford, Groton, Dunstable, and Tyngsborough. The medium ride adds a loop west and north into Pepperell and Hollis, NH. The long ride adds a scenic loop north of Hollis.

Rest stop at Dunkin' at mile 25 for medium and long routes (optional out and back for the long route). Other options include Buckley's Bakery/Cafe, Hollis Village Grocery, Monument Sq Market, and Farmstands (Lull Farm and Brookdale Farm; short out and back for medium ride). 

Farmhouse Cafe at mile 13 for short route.

Harold will lead a 17 mph average group on the 62 mile route, not no-drop

John will lead a 16+ mph average group on the 48 mile route, not no-drop

Nina Siegel will lead a 10-12 mph average group on the 24 mile route. This group MEETS AT 9:30 FOR 10:00 SHARP DEPARTURE. No drop, but not a new rider's ride
