Spring arrives to New England

Spring finally returned to New England and with that comes the season of good riding… pulling off the leg and arm warmers and feeling the sun on pastey white skin with the wind on your face without a balaclava. It’s a wonderful thing.

It also means that the charity riders are beginning to come out in force on the weekend rides with Bobby Mac out of the shop. There were probably the better part of fifty people who came out last Saturday and Sunday for rides of distances of up to 55 miles. Yesterday, a similar number came out as Bobby stretched the ride to a 62 mile loop (four people rode the entire loop) while there was also a group of Quaddies racing at the Sunapee Road Race and a small group that followed Walter on a century to southern New Hampshire and back.

Come out and join us sometime. Weekend rides leave from Quad Cycles at 1043 Mass Ave in Arlington on Saturdays and Sundays at 9:30 am as long as it’s not pouring rain. And by the end of the ride, you can sit and enjoy the sun at Starbucks.
