Warwick, RI -- East Bay Bike Path, seems to be everyones favorite. Very scenic and very flat. If you have never been on it, why not give it a try. The distance to Bristol is about thirteen miles. I like to go thru Colt State Park, to add a few extra miles. There are Restrooms, at Colt State Park. We probably will split into a few groups. Feel free to go at your own pace and whatever distance you feel comfortable with. You can always turn around if you start getting tired. I am sorry, but unless the turnout is small, I will not be able to watch everyone. If you were wondering, I plan to ride non stop to Colt State Park. There take in the Views and some snacks, then head back. Depending on how I feel, I may ride to Providence. Directions: Route 95 to Route 195 East, take Exit #4 / the exit forks, stay Right Riverside / follow Veterans Memorial Parkway and you will see a Large Parking Lot on the Right. I am not sure if the street # is 100.

Now that I can climb again I will try to make it every week, but please also use the mailing list to get in touch with other members if you need a carpool or want to make sure you'll have a belay partner. If you don't know how to belay yet, please call RSC Lincoln [masked] and let them know you're coming and will need a lesson. It'll take about 45 minutes. If you've never climbed at RSC but already know how to belay, you'll need to take a quick belay test, no need to call ahead for that.
