644.0. "RIDES AROUND MAYNARD AREA" by JETSAM::HANAUER (Mike... Bicycle~to~Ice~Cream) Tue May 03 1988 13:55

If you would be interested in lunch time or after work rides around
Maynard, please register here, and mention which or both.

If you know some good routes or might be willing to lead, map, or 
coordinate some of these rides please add that info.

If you would be interested in IceCream, Pizza or food after the 
(after work) ride, let us know that too.

644.1What a great idea, who suggested this?JETSAM::HANAUERMike... Bicycle~to~Ice~CreamTue May 03 1988 13:599
This is probably obvious, but I am interested.  Lean toward after 
work rides and icecream and food after.

I work at Parker Street, the parking lot here might be a reasonable 
starting place.

I'd be willing to map some of the rides.

644.2yes for Lunch RidesEUCLID::PAULHUSChris @ MLO 8-3/T13 dtn 223-6871Wed May 04 1988 11:495
    	I did lunch rides from the Stow Shopping Center years ago when
    a friend worked at DTS.  There's lots of nice roads in the area!
    I'd be interested in lunch rides, any day but Wednesday.  I don't
    bring my bike in normally, so we'd have to schedule it.  - Chris
    
644.3After workULTRA::WITTENBERGSecure Systems for Insecure PeopleWed May 04 1988 14:044
I'm interested  in  after  work  rides.  I  work in LTN and live near HL, so
either is a good starting place for me.

644.6Don't forget the runners and Tri'sAIMHI::JSMITHBikes Spoke_n HereWed May 04 1988 19:269
    	Try posting notices up in the shower rooms of the facilities
    that your interested in pooling.  We did this in MKO and found that
    allot of the lunchtime runners were also part time bikers, and liked
    the opportunity to cross train occasionally.  Good Luck and maybe
    we can get our groups together on a popular Century ride near the
    end of the year.  Possibly The Flattest Century In The East (TFCITE)
    which would probabily appeal to the majority here in MKO.

	Wednesday, October 5		MRO1
	Thursday, October 13		OGO
	Monday, October 17		ZKO1
	Tuesday, October 25		HLOx

	The sites' locations are:

	ZKO1:	Spitbrook Road, (South) Nashua, NH.  Spitbrook Road exit
		is Exit 1 in New Hampshire on U. S. Route 3 (just over the
		Mass. border).  Left at the end of the ramp onto Spitbrook
		to the road on the right with the Sheraton Tara on it
		(Tara Blvd.; traffic signal).  Follow it around back until
		you see the DEC-like signs and buildings.  Look for cyclists.

	HLOx:	The connector that goes between I-495 at the I-290
		interchange and Route 85 continues straight after crossing
		Route 85, leading into the DEC site.  Cyclists usually
		mill (excuse me) around the main entrance to the concrete
		(not brick) building or circle the parking lots.

	MRO1:	Southwest of the Route 20 exit of I-495.  Take the Route
		20 West exit and go west on Route 20 to the second (?) traffic
		light (with a left-turn signal and a left-turn lane; Ames
		Street).  Follow Ames until it crosses Forest Street.  (Ames
		has a stop sign.)  Turn left on Forest, go over a hill,
		and turn into the Digital entrance on the right.

	LTN1:	Southeast of the (cloverleaf) interchange of Mass. Route 2
		and I-495.  Go WEST on Route 2 from the cloverleaf and get
		off immediately AFTER the ON-RAMP from I-495 SOUTHBOUND at
		the Taylor Street Exit.  At the end of the ramp, go RIGHT
		on Taylor Street, pass over Route 2, then I-495, climbing
		a hill with construction on the right.  After the I-495
		bridge, on the left are a storage facility and a lone house
		with recent (unpainted) addition.  Turn LEFT at the next side
		street (Foster Street; barely readable sign) and go to the
		second DEC site in the left, downhill from the first.  (The
		first is LTN2.)

	OGO:	On a side road (Old Bolton Road) that meets Route 117 at an
		acute angle just east of the Bolton-Stow line.  (It's a
		sharp RIGHT turn if you're heading east on 117.)  There's
		(possibly) a small red-white-and-black Digital sign
		and a "traffic officer on duty when flashing" sign/light
		on Route 117 near the turn.  Since the side road meets 117
		at such a steep angle, there is a short connecting road for
		eastbound traffic on 117 to use for the turn.  According to
		a map I found, Old Bolton Road also meets Route 117 just on
		the Bolton side of the Bolton-Stow line, though, since DEC
		is near the east end of the street, and the condition of the
		road is probably worse than that of Route 117, it's probably
		worth taking the more eastern turn.

644.10Clarification for ZK.BANZAI::FISHERKeep 'em rollin'Mon May 09 1988 09:5915
Clarification for any one new to the area who has never been to ZKO1.

	ZKO1:	Spitbrook Road, (South) Nashua, NH.  Spitbrook Road exit
		is Exit 1 in New Hampshire on U. S. Route 3 (just over the
		Mass. border).  Left at the end of the ramp onto Spitbrook
		to the road on the right with the Sheraton Tara on it
		(Tara Blvd.; traffic signal).  Follow it around back until
		you see the DEC-like signs and buildings.  Look for cyclists.

When you take the right at the Tara Blvd traffic signal, go straight
at the next light which is on Tara Blvd.  (If you eye wanders a little
you might be tempted to take another right to the wrong digital site
-- TTB).
