2785.0. "Mountain Biking Club?" by USDEV::KBEDARD (main) Mon Jun 06 1994 17:24

    Mod: I couldn't find a good place to put this note. Feel free to move
    it.  
    
    I'm interested in finding some sort of a Mountain Biking club (or even
    a just a group of bikers) to go mtn biking with.  
    Since me and my S.O. are no longer together.....
    I don't have anyone to bike with and I'm afraid to bike off road alone.
    I work in Marlboro and live in Franklin Mass.
    
    Any info will be appreciated,

2785.1Weekend beach or mountain rides.SALEM::SHAWMon Jun 06 1994 17:3528
    
    Kelly, 
    
        My girlfriend and I go biking/mtbiking every other day and 
        weekends. Sometimes we go up to beach at Rye and ride around 
        Odione park, which is easy mt biking or do a combo on trails
        riding on the beach, some road (basically hangin out in the 
        beach area, Hamptom, Portsmouth etc.) Once or twice a month 
        we go up to the white mountains, Loon has a gondola that you 
        can bring your bike to the top and ride down, it is basically 
        intermediate level biking. Or just ride the cross country trails
        which  can be as easy or as hard as you can make it. But when 
        I ride with my girlfriend we stay away from real hard trails. 
        There is also a fun ride (mostly road, but we do it on MTBs)
        that you catch a bus at Loon parking lot and go up to franconia 
        notch from there its all downhill all the way to Echo lake by 
        Cannon mountain beautifull scenery. You are most welcome to 
        hook up with us. 
        One other good option that you have also is, this coming Saturday
        the Digital ski club is having a picnic, games and food at the 
        Chelmsford Elks lodge. From 12-4.00 but whoever wants to go 
        on a bike ride is meeting up there at 9.45 to go for a 10 - 12 
        ride, before partying starts. We are not sure if we can make it 
        there, but this might be good opportunity for you to hook up 
        with some nice poeple (fellow DECies) . If you need more detail
        drop me a line.

    Kelly,
    
    Send me your address and I'll drop you some information in the mail
    about the New England Women's Cycling Club.  It's a club geared toward
    women cyclists who are interested in competing and is open to all
    ability levels and ages.   The club has a Road team, and Mounting
    Biking team, and a rollerblading team.  There are regularly scheduled
    rides almost every day, and lots of cycling related activites
    throughout the year.    You do not have to race to be a member.  You
    might find some rides that are convenient to you and you will certainly
    meet other people with the same interest.

2785.5Need someone to off road withBUSY::MARCHESSAULTMon Jun 27 1994 22:448
    I bought a mountain bike about 2 years ago and ended up buying a Trek
    road bike the following year.  My main thing is road riding but I would 
    love to start with the mountain bike.  I've come across the same problem 
    with finding someone to ride with off-road and not alone.  To many crazy's
    out there to chance it.   I also work in the marlboro area (MRO1/3) and
    live in N. Attleboro MA.  Would love to join up and ride with a fellow
    Dec rider.  No fun riding with my boyfriend since he's not an off road
    rider.
