Sunday, August 4th Ride to Plymouth Rock

From the Treasurer
Treasurer's Ride Pick

                              PLYMOUTH ROCK
AOB: 10:00am Dunkin Donut's Rte 32 Uncasville
           Massachussett's is a helmet state

Ride to Plymouth, Ma to the small Pilgrim Memorial State Park on the waterfront where Plymouth Rock and the Mayflower are located.  

There's a Lobster Hut on the harbor and you can eat outside (obviously mostly seafood) Lunch looks like about $8-$15 for most items and they do have hamburgers, hot-dogs, chicken etc)  I have a menu I can bring to the meeting.

It's about a 2 hour ride (maybe a little more) and about 75% highway. (395N to 6 to 295 to 95 to 495 to 44 to Plymouth then home via 3a to 6 to 25 to 495 and reverse of ride down).  It's about a 2 hour ride (115 miles each way). Would leave at 10, probably back by 4.   

Note: The ride will be lead by the Road Sergeant or Treasurer as the Road Captain, President, Secretary, and 2nd V. President are not available for this ride but it sounds like a great ride. The weather is forecasted clear and sunny, mid seventies. Nice. Road Guards would be appreciated as always.

We are on the down side of the riding season so take advantage of all opportunities to ride. 



Pilgrim Memorial State Park

Pilgrim Memorial State Park
Water St.
Plymouth, MA 02360
Phone: 508-747-5360
The smallest park in the Massachusetts state forest and park system, Pilgrim Memorial is also the most heavily visited. Nearly one million people a year come from all over the world to visit the town where in 1620, English colonists first made a home in New England, and to see Plymouth Rock, where according to tradition, the passengers of the Mayflower first set foot in their new home. This simple glacial boulder on the shore of Plymouth Harbor has become a world famous symbol of the courage and faith of the men and women who founded the first permanent colony in New England.

A landscaped waterfront park provides scenic views of Plymouth Harbor. Mayflower II, a replica of the ship that brought the Pilgrims, is anchored at the Park.
