Paoli Loop out of Oak Bank Lot

Meet in lot behind Oak Bank at 8:45 am for biking safety talk and equipment check with roll out at 9:15. Please come with shoes, helmet, bike, 2 water bottles, trail pass, and appropriate clothing for weather. Meet at Hop Haus Fitchburg after ride (if bike is on carrier, advise having means to lock it to your rack to protect your investment).

25 Mile Long Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/42816703
Optional Hill Climb on Observatory would add a300 feet climb, and about 1.7 miles with a U-turn at top.

20 mile short route would take you to base of Observatory and return via out and back.

Looks like cloudy skies but rideable. Might want to pack a light rainshell, just in case of light drizzle. Park in lot off executive drive behind what was Funks Pub. 5956 Executive Drive, Fitchburg. I’m thinking now that a post ride coffee at Bariques might be better option than HopHaus, but we’ll do a straw poll to see what you all think.
