We'll be riding on the quiet back roads of Carlisle, Westford, Concord, and Acton. No need to race though this relaxing ride. You'll enjoy three lovely hills, each offering not-so-challenging upgrades and exhilarating downgrades (okay one is Strawberry Hill, but it's not that bad). No Strawberry Hill on the 10 mile route (West St. to Lowell back to West St.).

Leaders are off to a slow start, so be prepared to read provided cue sheets to maintain your own pace.  The 33 mile route laps the 21, enabling the leaders to sweep the 21.  Also the 33 mile route has a bailout at about mile 13 to do only 15 miles.

Directions: NARA Park is on Ledge Rock Rd. off Rte 27 about one mile N of its intersection with Rte 2A. Park in lower lot near pond.
