    There is a mt bike festival Sunday June 11 at Wompy state park in Hingham, MA. There is also camping available if anyone one to arrive the afternoon before.

    Any one interested for the day or camping the afternoon before?

    Robyn I'm not ready to ride an 35 mile intermediate ride and then play ice hockey that afternoon. I have to build up to that.

    Joanne,

    I can understand not wanting to ride and then play hockey. I can only handle one sport a day! However, the ride has been shortened to about 27 miles. The speed is not fast at all.
    Wow, it is just pouring out. We were supposed to have our bike rally today and ride 50 miles, up into Hollis, NH. Of course, it was cancelled, but we still have the dinner tonight. Went hiking in Estabrook Woods, in full rain gear. It is just soaked in there. I hope it dries soon, because I love to mtb there. Very easy on the main trail, with some challenging single track on the side trails.

    Do you think the rain will ever stop? My bike is itching to get out.

    Rain in the Northeast

    We have had so much rain in Maine I think we might slide into the ocean. We have the ALA Trek across Maine a week from Friday and it is hard to get training in. I think I'm going to jump back on the indoor trainer for most of the weekend. I'm looking for more events in the Northeast this summer. Does anyone know where I can find a list of events?

    Take whatever dry weather you can get!!

    Would be nice to have two dry biking days however, I don't think it is going to work out that way. I am hoping that Father's Day Weekend is dry for the ALA Trek across Maine. I have participated in two of the last three annual events and they have been very cold and wet. I would be happy to get a nice dry kinda of cool ride 65-70 but will ride in whatever we get!!

    I am a roadie, but if anyone wants to go out on the road, I'd love to join you. I live in Somerville and routinely ride into Bedford, Concord and Carlisle and Newton.

    AMC Monday Nite Ride Newton-

    Is anyone going to do the AMC ride monday nite? It meets at the duck feeding area of the old Norumbega park in Newton.

    I plan to ride, I have a lilac REI Noverra that looks like a mt bike, but is a road bike.

    Imperfectstorm, I am not familiar with AMC? When is the ride and where is the park? How fast are the rides and where does it go? Sorry for all the questions.

    AMC-rides

    Pata,

    AMC is the Appalachian Mountain Club, their url is www.outdoors.org they have lots of nice rides and other activities. This is the boston chapter ride, the Worcester Chapter has nice rides too.

    The ride leader is Barbara Bix her email is: barbara@bbmarketingplus.com
    you can try contacting her for Monday evening's ride, the have a slew of rides comeing up. I don't know the pace but this is supposed to be an easy ride.

    The "duck feeding area" in at the intersection of 128 & route 30. I think it is off of North Street-if you are heading west on rt 30 it is on the right hand side heading toward Brandeis University after you cross 128.

    If you know of some good back roads in the concord metro-west area or want to bang a ride on the minute man bike way, let me know, I'm always up for a bike ride

    Regards,

    Joanne
