Ride Description:
Come meander along the Charles River through the towns of Needham, Dover, Medfield and Sherborn. Three routes to choose from. Mostly rolling hills in a very suburban setting.
South Street in Needham does get a fair amount of traffic requiring single line riding. Note part of South St is closed. We will detour on Chestnut to Dedham St into and back from Dover.
* Proper navigation tools are required: GPS device or phone app. Do not rely on others to help you with navigation. They may ride at a different speed than you.
Adverse weather may cancel or postpone the ride. Check the website after 8 am on Saturday for updates.
