Bruce Freeman Rail Trail

Approx 30-mile out and back round trip ride on this great intermediate-level trail, one of the nicest you'll find in all of New England.

This will be a moderately paced ride at 10-14 mph with several brief water/bathroom breaks along the way. We'll all regroup at these break points, so nobody will be left behind on this ride.

Towards the end of the 15 mile out, we can decide if we want to stop and have lunch someplace.

RECOMMENDED BIKE TYPE(s):
-Any bike can be used on this type of ride.

NOTE 1: In order to take advantage of as much daylight riding as possible (especially as we get closer to September/October), the posted ride time is the START/DEPARTURE TIME of the ride time, NOT the "show up at the meeting location" time. The ride will depart at the start time regardless of who is not there at that time.

You must arrive ahead of time to prepare and make any last minute adjustments to your bike as early as you think you need (the earlier the better) to be ready to leave at the start time.

NOTE 2: You MUST have a helmet, a working rear light attached to the back of your bike (either on your bike bag (see further on), your seat post, the rear of your bike frame or the rear of your helmet), and a bike bag containing:
-at least one spare tube in case you get a flat
-a patch repair kit or CO2 cartridge(s) and inflator (or have a small bike tire pump on your bike)
-tire removal tool(s)

You should know how to either repair a flat or replace the tube.

It also is highly recommended you have at least one front light in case it gets dark
