It was a great day to ride and explore after a long virus hibernation. We departed in two groups of 12 riders and rode the Garrison Trail over the Merrimack River in Newburyport MA, the Amesbury Trail, and the Salisbury Ghost trail to its end for approximately 12 miles round trip. We all wore masks and were cooled by the tree canopy and breeze despite the 91 degree temperatures inland. We also saw the largest solar electrical station in New England next to the bike path and learned about the great train robbery where a $659,000 payroll was looted from a passing train. We were lucky to escape as one of our riders ended up with a flat tire and couldn’t make the getaway. Luckily Paul M. saved the day by fixing Linda’s flat tire and we escaped before we could be found. We plan to split the cash later!
All had a grand time and were happy to catch up with old friends and meet some new riders/members. We have more trails in the area to explore in the future. Anyone want to coordinate a ride? Thank you for coming!
