Join us as we wend our way through North Reading and Harold Parker State Forest.  The longer ride crosses Rt 114 before returning back to Middleton and North Reading.  Riders of all abilities are welcome and we regroup as needed.  Restroom facilities are nearby at Cumberland Farms and Dunkin.  

This latest revision gets us off the poor road conditons of Park and Flint Streets North Reading.  After the left turn at the diner, take a right onto Mt. Vernon St. and follow that all the way to the end at Haverhill St. and take a left onto Haverhill St.  Haverhill St. is busy as we know so please use caution and STOP at the stop sign before entering Haverhill St.
