Hi, 
Thanks to Brett S. we now have a ride of 77 miles, more in the spirit of '76. You can view it here: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/2663628 and get the cue sheet and GPS file. 

The beginning of the route pretty much follows the Marathon route with a couple of detours. One is in Wellesley where we turn onto Walnut St. to avoid a rather dangerous descent on Washington St. into Newton Lower Falls (made more dangerous by addition of a traffic signal half way down). Also, we turn from Comm. Ave. onto Mass. Ave. and then left on Boylston St. to avoid the wrong way climb up Hereford.
Take a look at the map for all the details. 

A few people have responded, others please let me know if you will be joining us. Feel free to share this with others.

Start is at Shaw's in Ashland, 7:30 AM. We can pick you up along the route if you tell me where and when you will be.

The usual disclaimer: This ride may not match the standards for the group through which you received this post (this is true mainly for the Free-As-In-Beer  group). If you choose to join, bring people along that ride at your pace. 

Let me know if you have questions.
