The North Shore Summer Chapter Meeting on Sun Aug 15th has been canceled. Due to the forest fire danger, the City of Gloucester has closed the woods (Dogtown). New meeting date TBA.

Tim Willis will be hosting the Thursday June17th ride/chapter meeting, with all activities leaving from his house. The 5:00 intermediate ride will include trails in both HP and Ward Hill. The 6:00 ride will be a relaxed pace and will take place on the trails in Ward Reservation If you have not mountain biked at Ward before this would be good opportunity to check out the trails. The terrain is more forgiving than HP and has great views of the Boston sky line. The chapter meeting will follow at 8:00. All north shore NEMBA members are encouraged to attend this event.
