Ride Description:
Enjoy this delightful ride with a friendly group. The 23 mile route spans Newton and Weston, passing by beautiful historic homes. The 36 miles adds Sudbury and the 52 reaches Stow.
Why is it called a donut ride? Because we have a pre-ride social gathering for anyone who wants to join at the Dunkin Donuts next door to the ride start, with a free coffee and donut on CRW's tab.
The ride is show-and-go, which means everyone goes at their own pace. Be sure to download the GPS or print a cue sheet ahead (no printed copies at the ride start). Please don't rely on being able to follow someone else as there's no set pace.
The 9:15a start time is for the pre-ride social; the bike ride starts promptly at 10am (details below).
*If the ride is canceled for weather that will be posted here the night before, so check this listing in the a.m. before heading out.
Ride Start Location:
1. The ride start and parking is behind the red brick condo building at 1172 Beacon St., Newton (not at the Dunkin Donuts). The parking is free but please park in the back only.
2. The pre-ride social is right next door at the Dunkin Donuts at 1148 Beacon St., Newton (it has bathrooms). It is a 1 minute walk from the ride start.
Timing
a. The pre-ride social is 9:15am to 9:45am at Dunkin Donuts. For the free coffee and donut (or anything else, up to $5 per person), ask Lisa for the credit card and hand her your receipt, anytime up to 'last call' at 940a.
b. The ride overview is at 9:55am and the ride begins promptly at 10am from the parking lot at 1172 Beacon St, Newton (note: the ride does not begin at Dunkin Donuts, but rather next door at 1172 Beacon St.).
