Almost 30 intrepid riders showed up for a lovely Fall Foliage ride from Sterling around Mt Wachusett to soak up the color and test out the legs on the hills.
5 or 6 riders remoted from Forbush Fields to the start in Sterling. Everett remoted from Cambridge.
We started as a single group and maintained that for 30 of the 39 miles. Then an adventurous crew broke out of lunch early to summit on Mt. Wachusett. See pic from the Tower.
Early on we passed some calf houses and Karen and Jack rode in front of a lovely pond, backed by Fall color.
It took 3 pictures to get a chance for everyone to face the camera at least once.
On the way to lunch we demonstrated what it looks like when a derailleur cable needs to be repaired and then got a chance to see what a turn looks like when an arrow abandons.
But everyone seems to have returned to the parking lot and gotten home successfully (or at least left in their car or on their bike.)
A great route laid out by Richard Vignoni and a good job herding cats over some challenging climbs.
This was the best my legs have felt for climbing in a long time - good rhythm, cadence and power.
