The Mattapoisett Tour de Creme is one short week away. I put out a feeler to see if anyone who did not get into the limited registration, wanted to ride the route on our own. Being Mothers Day, one of the most popular eating out breakfast days, expectations were low. Rightfully so, only five of us took advantage of the perfect weather. Mothers day morning did not keep the masses from using the MUPs (Multi Use Paths). They were very busy.

Next week however, the Tour de Creme will see in excess of 100 riders participating. I’ll be riding along as SAG support and a videographer on the 24 mile route. There is also a 15 and 40 mile route. After a three year hiatus, is good to see the return of the Tour de Creme

Didn’t get into the Tour de Creme next week? Want to get familiar with the route if you did? Or do you just want to do a Sunday Morning ride on bike paths and ( some quiet safe roads)? Join amidnightrider for this 20ish mile casual bike ride.

DETAILS

When: Sunday May 14

Where: Meet at Staples in Fairhaven

Time: Arrive in time for a 9:30 start

The ride will cover all of the TDC route but not in the ride order. We will do it in reverse so we can end with the most spectacular sights of Buzzards Bay and Eel Pond.

The turn around is at Fieldstone Ice Cream Stand that opens at 11 AM. If we are early there is also a market with fresh baked goods and plenty for fruits and veggies.

There are plenty of places for lunch at the ride’s end if you have hunger pangs.

Mama Deluca’s Pizza and Subs… A Subway franchise

Travelers Ale House Local hot spot

Frontera Grill……Mexican Cosine

99 Restaurant

There is also plenty of the fast food chains very close to the ride end.
