I will be doing the "lite" version with Quabbin on Saturday as will I am sure a number of people. I will only put a few short efforts and mostly be cruising and will likely skip the lollipop.
For those new to the club, we meet at the Cannoli Cafe / Guisuppe's Grill at 35 Solomon Pond Rd, Northborough. Info on the ride is here:

We typically go hard on the hills and regroup at the top so it is a no drop ride. A key point is that it is one of the our group rides where coffee/tea & banter after is REQUIRED (OK, not required, but encouraged!).
