With the anticipated weather for the Saturday, we have made the hard decision to only do the Boston to Sagamore Bridge portion of the Ride. To say we are disappointed is an understatement. Based on current predictions, we think the first part of the ride will be fairly dry. Conditions are expected to worsen on the Cape end of the Ride. We also learned today that the Rail Trail is still a mess from last week’s storm.
We will have rider registration open at Club Café tomorrow from 1-8pm. On Saturday, for ALL riders who wish to participate, Club Café will open at 4:30 AM for Rider check in and breakfast. Ride out will happen between 6:15-6:30. There will be NO Sagamore to Ptown ride, nor will there be a PTown loop. Crew, you will receive email from your Pit Stops leaders regarding your assignments.
To be clear, even if you signed up for the Sagamore to Ptown or Ptown Loop, you can show up at Club Cafe on Saturday morning and ride.
Our Pit Stops from Boston to the Sagamore Bridge will maintain the same hours of operation:
Pit 1 Weymouth Nash School (1003 Front Street, S. Weymouth) -14.7 Miles from the Start of the Ride
Opens: 6:30 a.m. | Closes: 8:30 a.m.
Pit 2 Halifax (Check Point) Halifax Boat Ramp (Across from 497 Monponsett St. Halifax) – 15.9 Miles from Pit 1
Opens: 7:15 a.m. | Closes: 9:45 a.m.
Pit 3 Plymouth Town Green (Town Green across from 35A Pleasant St., Plymouth) – 13.0 Miles from Pit 2
Opens: 8:00 a.m. | Closes: 11:00 a.m.
Pit 4 Bourne (Check Point) Sagamore Bridge (MBTA Lot near Mary Lou’s Coffee – 1 Canal Pl, Sagamore Beach) – 14.8 Miles from Pit 3
Opens: 8:45 a.m. | Closes: 12:45 p.m.
Once we reach Sagamore Bridge, we will feed you the lunches loving made by our friends at Bread and Roses in Wells, ME. Folks will either head home, or go to Ptown. You can pick up any luggage you have at the Bridge. Any luggage left after 12:45pm will be available at the Harbor Hotel on Saturday. Any luggage not picked up will go back to Club Café and be made available on Monday.
Our plan is to provide transportation back to either Club Café, or on to Provincetown. We need to know if you need a ride back to either Boston, or Ptown. So, PLEASE fill out our very short questionnaire we sent you via email. Because of other events at the Harbor Hotel, we can’t provide the meals we planned for Saturday afternoon. Our closing ceremony at the Boatslip is now scheduled for 7:30pm and we will be either on the covered dance floor or under the tent. We will not have our typical ride-in from the Harbor Hotel. We will have brunch on Sunday as scheduled.
Please note that Harbor to the Bay will end at Sagamore. Riders, should you choose to continue past the bridge, you will be on your own. It will be without ride support, pit stops, food, etc. We have alerted the communities on the Cape side that we are not riding.
We thank you in advance for your patience.
Your Harbor to the Bay Planning Committee
