Jump in on NSC's classic Thursday Wakefield Ride at an intermediate pace.  Beginning at the head of Lake Quannapowitt, we roll up through Lynnfield Center, past Pillings Pond.  Then down Lowell/Chestnut St, into North Reading Center, and loop around back to Lynnfield for a terminal velocity descent.  Finally a loop around Quannapowitt for a glorious finish and the weekend can begin. 

This intermediate pace group is a no drop ride and is suitable for all abilities.  The pace is typically 14-16 mph but can vary.

There will be two groups starting out:  this intermediate pace group and a faster (much faster) group.

Ride leader: Tom Swanson (intermediate group)
