Non-Recurring Road Rides, November and December, 2005
Saturday, November 5, 9:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m., Bradley Palmer State Park, Topsfield, MA (Beg/Int)
I will lead two rides of 2 hours each. The first leaves at 9 a.m., the second at 11:30 a.m. Same park but different routes. There are enough trails to make life interesting. Mostly easy to moderate. Nobody gets lost and will regroup as needed. Ride either or both. Bring food and water and be prepared for weather changes. No ride if raining but will ride in the snow.
Directions:
Meet at main parking lot of Bradley Palmer State Park. From RT. 95 going north in Danvers, take RT.1 north to Ipswich St. (red light bottom of the hill). Right on Ipswich St. for 1 mile, then right on Asbury St. Park is first left. From RT.95 going south, take RT.97 east to RT.1 and follow above directions.
