It's time for another bike to brunch.
This is one of Patty's routes that keeps the legs cranking and the heart pumping. We'll depart the Westmoreland town common at 9 o'clock AM and turn east to get one more climb of Glebe Road in for the year. We'll join Sugar Maple Rd for an easy descent to the Chesterfield Gorge area. Suck it up for a short, noisy ride on Rt 9 before exiting onto Rt 9A for a tour of Spofford Village. Around the south side of the lake to Maple Ave where we'll again cross Rt 9. Gear down as we cross the highway because its a big climb up Maple to Chesterfield Rd. Chesterfield Rd to Rt 63 and south to Stage Rd for a thrilling down hill recovery. Once more, we cross Rt 9 and take a short jog to Poor Rd. Turning right, we make our way down to West Chesterfield. Turning onto Main Street, we'll join River Rd and follow it north for about seven mile. At Partridge Brook Road, we turn right and make our way back to Westmoreland.
Arriving in Westmoreland, we'll enjoy brunch at Barn & Thistle.
Wunderground say that it will be bright and sunny. But it will be cool. Break out the cold weather gear for this one.
While this is a daylight ride, anything that makes you more visible to the motorists out there is an advantage. Bright colors and flashing lights are your friends.
Safety is paramount. Making it to brunch is imperative. Ride within your limits. Communicate your intentions to both automobile traffic and your fellow riders. Follow the rules of the road. Have fun. Eat well.

I'm gauging interest in doing a Green River gravel ride on Saturday. It's a beautiful ride along the the Green River in Massachusetts, crossing into Vermont. I am listing 3 possible routes on the RWGPS link. These options would add more miles and elevation for anyone who is up for the challenge (it's a few more miles and a lot more climbing). Andrew would lead that expedition.
Also, if anyone needs sustenance, Antonio's II in Bernardston (10 minutes away) is owned by a cyclist. There are sandwiches, pizza, calzones.... and 11 beers on tap. Parking may be a bit tight because of the "Scarecrow in the Park" festival across the street, but it may be worth a try.
