Well, I'm not going to drive to Natick for a 15 mile ride!
Are the rides from the reservoir lead by Landry's people? Or is that another group? I have ridden out there from my old house in Boxborough and it was nice. I know the Worcester AMC chapter sometimes has rides from there.
I just got back from riding to the gym. I guess I haven't been doing much commuter type riding, because I had 2 "incidents," with pick ups today. I was never in any danger, but it's always the same type of vehicle/person with NH license plates.. I had some practice using my middle finger (hey they called me an a**hole for taking the lane).
