Noon rides

Here at work there are a bunch of bicyclists that have formed a loose club called the Boston Scientific Bicycling Club (or BSBC for short). It's quite easy to excercise here because there are very nice simple shower rooms for all employees to use and they even provide a towel service!

We usually start the ride at 11:30 and try to get back to our desks by 1pm. However emails start to fly earlier then that with people wanting to know who is 'in' for that days ride. There are around 30 that subscribe to the biking list with each days group varying from 2 to sometimes 12 rides. The fitness level of the group is, in general, quite high so even on a so called 'moderate day' the speeds can stay high and you might be in danger of being left in the dust.

We have basically 2 directions that work for us and we stick to them. The Northern Route and the Southern route. There are a few variations such as the 30 mile long Biggy Southern/Northern Route.

In case you are wondering, I used the very cool Gmap-Pedometer to map out the routes. It's a free plugin that uses Google Maps to map out routes and give you the mileage. You can then save the link to your website like I have done. A very useful tool.
