I've decided on Shelburne Farms in Stowe, MA

Here's their website......

To clarify, this is not a bike ride event but of course you're welcome to ride there!

My cell phone is 617-894-8454

Come for the day or stay overnight...either Saturday night alone or Sunday night as well...

7 Male Beds and 7 Female Beds have been reserved at the Hostel under the name "FOX". You must call yourself to reserve a bed under that name and then provide a credit card and your payment to replace the reservations I've make under my name.

Here's the link to the hostel and phone number:

Make it a day or overnight trip to Nantucket!

We did this same trip two years ago and it was a blast!

We'll be staying at the Youth Hostel which is beautifully situated right on the ocean!

I have an overnight reservation currently for 5 men and 5 women so RSVP on this site and then you must call the hostel and ask for the "Fox" reservation, first come first serve! I've reserved 10 spots under my credit card but when you reserve, you must reserve under your credit card and they will deduct from my credit card your confirmation.

We'll likely bike about 20 miles per day, eat, have ice cream, bike some more, eat again :-), and swim at the beach etc... stuff like that :-)

We could rent a group taxi into town for night life.....whatever the group feels like doing.

The Youth Hostel is $35 per night. Parking is at 49 Yarmouth Rd and is $15 per day. There is a shuttle from the parking lot to the dock at 141 School St.

We'll take the Steamship Authority from Hyannis on the 9:15 am departure. Cost for the ferry is $33 round trip plus $12 for bikes.

There is also a $5 fee that goes toward maintaining this group's website.

More details to follow!!

See ya soon!

Please indicate in your RSVP if you'll be doing the day or overnight option. Thank you

If you are like me, you've been ITCHING to take your bike out, almost to the point where it could be considered a medical condition... Here's your shot!

I will be leading a bike ride making a loop to Walden Pond from the Harvard Square area.

THE ROUTE: We will start near Harvard Square at the park next to the JFK bridge (Harvard Square side). From there, we will take the Charles River bike path out of Cambridge until Watertown, and I'm still deciding on the best route to Walden pond from there, but it will take us past the Cambridge Reservoir. At Walden Pond, we will take our shoes off and relax for a bit, hopefully catching some sun! After we've chilled for a while, we will head northeast toward Lexington until we connect with the Minuteman Bikeway and head back. Our destination from there will be Davis Square where we can catch a bite to eat to end the day. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY GREAT RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE ROUTE! I will try to post a map closer to the date, and I will update the text with the final plan.

THE PACE: Ideally, I'd shoot for a 15 mph pace, but I think we'll going 10-12 mph on the paths since it will be packed, though I plan to hit at least 15, higher if we can handle it, once we get out in the open. In all honesty, I have no idea how long it will take. I would plan at least 4 hours - we will hang out at Walden Pond based on consensus.

WHAT TO BRING: Feel free to ride whatever kind of bike you want as long as you can keep up. I'll be riding a fixed gear bike. Bring any water and food as needed. Flat repair tools are always smart. A helmet is recommended! Also, there is a recommended $5 donation that goes to Rob to cover past and future meetup.com fees.

Please feel free to contact me with any concerns or questions! I hope to see a big group!

NASTY WEATHER WILL CANCEL THIS EVENT
