End of the Causeway "The Cut"
Enjoying a variety of weather conditions 43 TOHG members enjoyed a 3 day trip to Burlington VT.
We cruised Lake Champlain on board of The Spirit of Ethan Allen on Monday followed by a buffet dinner at Zachary’s Pizza.
Wednesday morning 19 hardy souls rode The 127 Trail from the Ethan Allen Homestead with snow flurries making for a memorable ride. And of course some of the Gang stopped at Ben & Jerry’s factory on the way home!

Eleven TOHG members set off from Salem NH on a 2 hour bike ride to Derry NH along the Salem, Windham and Derry Rail Trails. It was a beautiful warm Spring day and fortunately much of the trail was shaded. Most of this route is wooded and passes several ponds, bogs and streams and we were fortunate to see several turtles sunning themselves along the way.

After the walk we ate bagged lunches at a shady picnic table.

The threat of rain didn’t deter Kim and Alan from setting out on a 2 hour bike ride from Everett to Lynn. The trail was sparsely used which made for easy biking. Crossing the marshlands between Saugus and Lynn we even saw a Piping Plover take flight. And we returned to our start just as soon as the rain began! Perfect timing!

Seven TOHG members (including brand new member Kathy) set off under cloudy skies to ride the North Central Pathway from Winchendon to Gardner MA. The clouds soon parted to allow some sun to brighten our ride as we rode past lakes, streams, marshland and woods. In other words a perfect ride to enjoy all the bounty Mother Nature has to offer.

Six hardy souls set out on a cloudy and misting morning along the Amesbury Riverwalk Trail, Ghost Trail and Eastern Marsh Trail from Amesbury and Salisbury and stopping at the Seabrook line before continuing to the Merrimack River at the Newburyport line. Although the weather was cold and raw at the outset the sun peeked through the clouds just before our ride ended. Perhaps our next ride will be sunny and bright!

Ten TOHG members set out from Woburn under sunny skies along the Tri Community Rail Trail. We rode from Woburn through Winchester along the Aberjona River through Winchester Centre, past Wedgemere and stopping at the Mystic Lakes Dam on the Arlington town line hoping to see alewives and perhaps a resident bald eagle. Although we didn’t see either of those we were fortunate enough to see cormorants, turtles and a blue heron. Finishing our ride under cloudy skies we stopped for coffee at a local coffee shop in downtown Winchester before returning to Woburn.

It was a beautiful Spring day as eight TOHG members set out to ride the Londonderry Rail Trail. Along the way we passed through several marshes, woods and ponds and saw a number of turtles taking advantage of the warm weather to sun themselves. Some of us were also fortunate to see a beaver near his dam. And our ride finished with coffee at a local restaurant with group photo.

It was a beautiful sunny day as four of us set out along the banks of the Merrimack River in Newburyport. We biked along the waterfront, past many amazing art sculptures, benches, swings and hammocks even before turning inland and completing our closed loop ride.
