5/30 Sun am RR - alts from Natick/Wayland line

[Doran Abel]

Since I can’t do the Sat rides like Stowe loop or Westboro QuadBuster (yard/garden/house work day for me), I was planning my usual Sun am ride. I usually leave from the north Natick/Wayland town line (say the DQ or Dunkin D’s on Rt. 27) about 630am and head north thru Wayland, Weston, Sudbury, N.Framingham - sometimes Lincoln, Concord, or Maynard. Route flexible, usually hunt out some moderate climbs, but need to be done around 930am latest for church and then family activities. Pace around 19mph if I have a little help, maybe less if solo. Mileage about 35 – 40 planned.

An alternative would be to head south thru downtown Natick, S.Natick, and Dover about 14 miles and then hit the Cat 5/C race/12 miles at Wells Ave. (just over Rt. 128) at 930am. If so, would probably leave a little later – say 7am or so. This idea depends on leg recovery from hand spading my garden on Sat.

I will try to watch for any posts/interest on Sat. Can meet up in route too. If not, I just do my usual solo thing - no problem, just throwing out a new venue.
