THURSDAY’s
Ride
This route, now at version VIII, has
been
updated many times to make it both safer and more scenic. The route is 29.5 miles
long, has a few tough
hills but lots of flat sections, tons of amazing scenery, and …
Oscar’s.
The scenery on the route offers many heavily wooded areas, a few farms, several water views, and even short sections on the Bruce Freeman Trail and the Assabet River Trail.
Oscar’s is a most unusual Mexican restaurant. There’s some outdoor dining available and also a screened porch with picnic tables. There are plenty of indoor tables, too. The food is not only really good but it’s really cheap as well.
