Do I have the authority to post WNR suggestions?!?

While the weather needs watching was wondering if a CCW Ressy Route would be of interest for this week?

Ordinarily the proposer would paste a link to the route...and maybe I can rustle something up...but in the meantime:

Old Bay, 5 corners, Bolton Rd, Sterling Rd, Chace Hill, Muddy Pond, John Dee....blah blah...Linden, Crosby etc.

It's prob 40ish miles, you guys all know it. KT probably has the route already in his library!

Ian you don't have to ask permission to post the WNR. "To the victor (poster) go the spoils"

But yes you should post a more specific route ;)

That's funny Ian because I was thinking earlier that I'd suggest the Linden St. route this week. It's in the opposite direction (CW).

Hmmm...I knew you'd have something!!

Here's what I was thinking:

Pretty similar except I've gone deeper into Sterling and stayed away from the clink!

Fine with me, and a very familiar route for me. One thing I might suggest is veering left onto Maple St. (changes into Shrewsbury St.) and going up the back side of Prison Hill before turning left onto Rt. 70. A little longer and another climb, but a fun downhill and no traffic. Either way though.

Agreed KT! I'll make the edit tonight then post her up with the Rona-19 protocol too

Ooops, just realized I should have said to veer right, not left onto Maple.
