Sat AM Purgatory Rendezvous Ride

Saturday morning. I’m planning on doing a 50 mile loop from Franklin to Purgatory and back. Since most of you might come from the North and usually assault Purgatory from a Westboro start, I’ll propose a rendezvous point in Northbridge. The Burger King on 122 (corner of 122 and Church St) should be equidistant from both starting points (my house and Roche Bros Westboro) -- about 14-15 miles. If anyone is interested, post up and I’ll plan to arrive at the BK parking lot at 8:00am. From there it’s up Purgatory Road, left on Southwick, left on Mendon Road, do a lap of the Purgatory road race loop, then part ways.
A .jpg of the rendezvous point is attached, and here is the whole loop I will be riding:

Of course ignore everything before the BK on 122 and then after the parting of ways…
If you want to start in Franklin I'm rolling from my house at 7:00am, PM for address.

Planning to be there. I'm supposed to be doing recovery rides all week so this might backfire, but I can't resist.

I was considering doing a couple of laps at Sterling but I'll show up for this ride.
Take a look at this ride as well - it covers northern Rhode Island. I don't know these roads.

Sounds good. Meet at Roche brothers and ride to Northbridge as a group, or just meet up at BK?

I assume you guys will figure that out amongst yourselves. Mike and I will see you at 8.

I have to leave a little later this a.m. Won't be at the BK. I know the route and maybe I'll see you guys out there?

This was a great ride last time, so I'm planning on doing this ride again this Saturday, 5/21 if anyone is interested. Meet at Burger King in Northbridge @ 8am or meet in Franklin (PM for address) at 7am.
