This Thursday is the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks in PA, DC, and of course, the WTC in New York.
We are doing an 11 mile ride to commemorate the date. Beginning at Yesteryear Cyclery @6pm, the turn around point will be at the Acushnet Fire Dept’s 9/11 Memorial for a stop, to pay our respects to those we lost on that day. If you haven’t seen the memorial yet, it’s worth the trip. It has artifacts from The Pentagon, the field near Shanksville, PA, and the center piece, a monument using a 6 foot beam from WTC.
As this is later in the day, it is a short ride, giving anyone on the ride, the opportunity to spend as much time as they want at the memorial! All are invited!!!

plaza parking lot. Please park well away from the stores. (Note: This lot is just on the other side of Rt. 95 from our old
start in the Chariho Plaza, which we have been told not to use.)
Drive Time
40 minutes from Providence
Description
This popular ride was created by Tina Williams to include many of our favorite roads in this area. The basic ride is a
scenic 18 mile loop, with the possibility of taking 3 extra loops. Choose 1, 2 or all 3 loops. Loop #3’s return along Rt. 3 is
one of RI’s best downhills. This ride was formerly called the Hope Valley Extra, but we took out the challenging “hero”
loop, so there is no extra this year.
Bike The Bay Series
The Buzzards Bay Coalition organized a series of bike rides leading up to the Buzzards Bay Coalition Watershed Ride on October 5th. Today was the fifth of six training rides taking the group on an 18 mile spin along the waterfronts of New Bedford and Fairhaven, MA.
The day started out misty with a strong easterly breeze. Actually it was a strong wind that stiffened any flag that dared to fly. Small craft warnings were posted for Buzzards Bay and Clarks Cove making half the ride a pretty good workout. Eventually the sun broke through and the humidity settled just in time to end the ride.
