If others are, I'd be in. I don't know the route at all though

I also do not know the route so we would need someone who knows the route.

I'm not sure why everyone is so quiet on this thread tonight. Maybe they are all watching the Voice?

I'll probably do the 7 Hills Wheelmen ride from the Stone Church at 6PM since it looks like most of MRC is taking a week off from WNR.

Is this the stone church on Wachusett Reservoir? How far do they go, and is it a good workout, or a more casual ride?

Yes, it's the stone church on Wachusett Reservoir.
The route changes from week to week typically they do 1.5 - 2 hours depending on daylight.
It isn't as intense as trying to hang in the A group in the MRC WNR, but it can get spirited depending on who shows up.

Here' s strava data from the last 7HWM WNR I did
http://app.strava.com/activities/48233999 (got caught in rain) That's the early season loop, but they will probably start riding a little longer now that there is more daylight.

From

Old Stone Church, Beaman Street (Routes 12 & 140), West Boylston
On the shore of Wachusett Reservoir, just past the causeway on Route 12. Park on the street near Bob's Hot Dog Truck and the picnic tables. We tend to congregate on the side of the grassy triangle that has the bike rack -- not at the driveway to the stone church itself, which is vacant and closed. To find this location on MapQuest, Google Maps, etc., type in "Route 12 and Beaman St., West Boylston, MA"
