On Sunday, Nov 6th 2022 NER will have a Populaire ride followed by a NER Members meeting at 3pm.
Populaire @ 8am
Last NER Ride of 2022! Come enjoy the fall weather on a mix terrain, low elevation gain route. The ride is more than 30% on bike paths and 9 miles of hard packed dirt. (The part south of Assabet Wildlife refuge is soft and sandy for about a mile.) It’s a fairly unremarkable route but it’s low traffic and as flat as you can get in the Boston western suburbs. There are plenty of places to get a cup of coffee, a pint of beer, a fried dough with a hole in the center and cones.
Please note this route should be ridden in a relaxed approach. The shared paths are popular with families, joggers, and novice cyclists so don’t plan to set an personal speed record.
NER will have snacks at Emily & Jake’s house when people return.
Read the ride report from October 27th.
2022 Members Meeting @ 3pm
The yearly members meeting is in NER’s Bylaws. It is an opportunity for members to discuss any issues related to the organization which might be on their mind. These meetings have been festive occasions with snacks, recalling enjoyable rides of the past year, and looking ahead. The meeting is open to all current NER members and people can join remotely via zoom if they’d like. If planning to join remotely, please provide a valid email address in your registration to receive the Zoom link sent on Saturday.
