Relocating to Boston area- need help with bike storage!

[drubin43]

Hey everyone, I was able to meet a bunch of you last year when I drove up for a CCS/ASRA round at Loudon. I'm now relocating to Boston area from Maryland and need some help!

I am moving in Sep, working in Devens, MA. I'm not sure where I will be living yet and will do temp housing for a few months. I would like to bring a couple bikes and enclosed 6 x 10 trailer with me immediately but with hotel living for several months won't have a great place to store/access things. Hotel options are right in Devens or in Marlborough or Tewksbury.

Anyone know of secure/accessible storage places in these areas for the bikes and trailer? The bikes can of course stay in the trailer but a garage type spot where I can work on the bikes would be ideal.

Any track/racing folks in these areas? I'd be interested in meeting up with folks and getting some track/race days in before the season ends!

Thanks for any help!

Don't know about the trailer, but Bikeworx in Hudson does winter bike storage for a decent price.

I live in Worcester MA. Isolated garage. I can help

My buddy used this place recently near Marlboro. Seemed decent; he had no issues and they have other locations in surrounding towns. They have parking storage (for trailer or cars) ~$75 month. This rate isn't on their site FYI - you'll have to call them.

FYI if you are looking for short term hotel options there is a hostel right near Devins in Harvard called Friendly Crossways. Oldest operating hostel in the US. We were just there looking at it as a potential wedding venue, and the owners seem like great people.

I'm 5 minutes from Devens. I'll keep my eyes open for a storage place, nothing comes to mind at the moment. My bikes should be squared away by the end of next week, I'm hoping to get a couple track days in before the season ends.

Tewksbury hotels are trashy. The Caswell closed down in Tewksbury and that's where all the scumbags stayed. Now they've moved down to Motel 6. Cops are there nightly. Just a heads up.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the replies! The good news is my new company is paying for the temp housing so I won't have to deal with Motel 6 type situations- thank you for steering me clear though!

tsorfas, I'll PM you to see what's goin on down in Worcester.

burnham, I'll PM you too with some Devens question!

I'm in Worcester and my landlord just re did our garage into 4 bays. I rent one. He is keeping one and the other two are empty. He's advertising them for $125 a month. But I have him down to $75. We wrench cars and bikes in the driveway and garage all the time with no issues.

Update and more questions- after checking out the area more, I'm now looking to move to Arlington. Garage options for renting are a bit limited though. If I can't find a place with a garage I'm hoping to find someone/somewhere close to be able to store/wrench on three bikes. Any ideas/leads?
