Annual Slowbie Newbie ride

[mzdagrl]

bumpity bump - this saturday, kids!

[nhbubba]

Where is your meetup spot? Nashua?

[Rossco]

I'd love to go this year, but I have my friends bachelor party that day.

[mzdagrl]

Where is your meetup spot? Nashua?

Finalizing the route tonight, but meetup will be in Nashua (off Exit 5, unless I think of a better place), and it will be a loop, so we will disband in the same place as meetup. For anyone going on the ride who also hopes to attend our housewarming that night, sorry about the inconvenience, but I have somewhere to be in the afternoon. We will be riding back home from the Nashua area around 5/6PM if people choose to follow us.

I want to try a full day on my WR and it's too slow for the Seacoast rides, so I'll tag along if there's still room.
I'll go right by Sheppo, so if you want some company on the ride up, let me know.

[Sheppo]

I am up for company. I'll have a newbie with me so we will take back roads from Westford once Kiera pics a spot.

Have fun all! Wish I could join as it sounds as though would be the perfect first group ride for me, but headed into Boston for the Jason Aldean concert. Guess I'll have to look forward to the next ride!

Let me know what time you're leaving Westford - I'll meet up with you!

Deal

I still need to pre-ride some parts of this route to check road quality, but the current plan is as follows:

Meet at the Dunkin Donuts off exit 5W in Nashua. I will likely get there with Rob and possibly my non-NESRian around 8 for breakfast, anyone is welcome to join us. There is a gas station (7-11) across the street.

Head toward Pepperrell and then north through Hollis to Merrimack.
Pick up 101 briefly to 31 in Milford and head north through Bennington, where we take 202 down to Hancock.
Route 137 through the back woods to Jaffrey, then back to Milford via 124/123/31.

We will either end at a location in Milford (Souhegan Valley, possibly) or back at the previous 7-11, depending on time.

This is also going to be a no-lunch stop ride, so bring snacks if you need them. We will make a pit stop somewhere along the way (most likely in Jaffrey for potty and gas), but being a short route, probably only the one stop.

[Sheppo]

See you then

I have to work. Have fun, everyone.

Anyone going coming from the north shore direction? Long way to the meet up but I might not mind if I have someone to head up with.

Newbie rides are great.

[reiobard]

the meetup spot is the dunks at 264 Main Dunstable Rd in Nashua NH

[Sheppo]

Leaving Westford from the United gas station at the intersection of Nutting RD. And Groton RD. at 8:15... Back roads to Nashua.

[cyrusOO]

I'll be leaving Portland a bit before 7am and heading down via I95/101 if anyone is heading down from that general area.

[mzdagrl]

Heading out now for breakfast! See you all soon!

[SCRLT01]

So...there's a guy threatening to jump from the 3rd level of the garage I park in...city has locked the garage down...I may or may not make it for this ride.....

[nhbubba]

Tell him to hurry up so we can all get on with our day.

[Cheese]

Great ride today Keira. Thanks for setting it up, leading it and dropping us back in familiar territory. Thanks for sweeping Sheppo and honorable mention to Rob for demonstrating how to show up unprepared for a group ride.

[G21forme]

Pee or gas?

They tased him bro!

In all seriousness, the Lowell Police Dept subdued the jumper, and I was able to make it for this ride! Thanks to Keira for putting this together, and leading another great ride :-)

Thank you to Sheppo for sweeping, and leading a few of us back to Westford!

[mzdagrl]

Pee or gas?

Better - 14lbs of air in the front tire, 22 in the rear.


Thanks everyone for coming out! As always,t he company is what makes this a great ride. Thanks to Sheppo for stepping up to sweep, not knowing if Rob would have a bike or not, and also for leading us to Pepere's party. There is no way we would have found it on our own without route 3.
