Has anyone ridden this? Looking for a review of the ride overall. I only have one report to go on, and that was a friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend who said the road conditions are not good; too much traffic, poor pavement, even dirt paths. I checked the website, which confirms "rough paths and a one quarter mile section of dirt and gravel." I don't do dirt/gravel w/ my road bike. As a matter-of-fact, the ride's website even says "hybrid bikes are preferable." That screams red flag at me. Also, the website suggests anyone who has a problem (injury, mechanical trouble, can't finish) should flag down a volunteer who will then call for help. That tells me there is no SAG.

I think this ride is trying to become the "Five-Boro Tour" of Boston. I thought I'd see if anyone out there could give me the skinny before I nix it completely based on heresay. Thanks!
