Sunday, Sept. 5, is the deadline for the October newsletter. (Early deadline this time because of vacations.)
If you can lead a bike ride, hike, trail clearing or other activity in October, submit the details by midnight Sept.5 to Lynne Tolman, LTolman@LTolman.org, 508-831-0301. We also still have openings in September.

Wed, Sep 1 - Wednesday Night Road Ride

Activity: Road ride, 15-25 miles Location: Old Stone Church, Routes 12 & 140, West Boylston, for road biking; but check the web page. Detail: Weather permitting. Leader: Rick Krasnick, 508-852-7701
Location: Long Pond boat ramp, Route 122, Rutland Time: 9:00 a.m.
Show 'n' Go means no leader. Just show up, and go wherever the road takes you.
In other words, those who show up come to a consensus on a route, and off you go.
Many club members know the roads in this area, so even if you aren't familiar
with local routes, someone will likely be there who can keep you from getting lost.
Long Pond Show 'n' Go at 9:00 a.m. is our default ride for summer Sundays when
we have no other non-Easy C Rider road ride scheduled.
We have some Long Pond starters in our cue sheet library and can add more --
just send your cues to LTolman@LTolman.org
On Labor Day this is a Show 'n' Go ride (no leader).
Ride around Holden Reservoir. Riders of all skill levels, on any type of bikes, are welcome. Most riders will be on road bikes or hybrids.

This is the same ride that Steve F. led on May 1.
A circuitous route through the tri-state area. In Massachusetts, it includes parts of Spencer,
Charlton, Southbridge and Dudley. Then we hit Thompson, Conn., and in Rhode Island we see
Buck Hill Management Area. Back in the Bay State, we go by Douglas State Forest on the way back
to Millbury. The terrain is rolling, with some moderate hills. This is a fun, not fast, ride,
but be prepared for the distance.

An informal group of Seven Hills members goes mountain biking year-round, usually one day per weekend and sometimes weekday evenings too. Night rides require headlights. Many winter rides are in Rutland State Park. Studded tires (either store-bought or homemade) are recommended for winter. We don't plan far ahead, and we keep people posted by e-mail. To get in the loop, contact Rich Sanborn at chainringrat@charter.net
These are easy-paced Saturday or Sunday rides led by club member Dick Goodman. Time and location varies. Rarely over 35 miles, and Dick doesn't go looking for hills. Check www.easycrider.com each week for the lowdown. Usually the weekend plan is online by Thursday night. Dick discourages phone calls but can be reached at leader@easycrider.com and requests RSVP by 10 p.m. Friday, via e-mail or Facebook group, so he knows who's coming.
Last-minute activities
If you want company when you bike, e-mail your plan (time, date, place, activity) to LTolman@LTolman.org and Lynne will forward it to everyone in the club. It’s best to contact Lynne by noontime Thursday for weekend activities.
