First thing is to turn back your clocks on Sunday morning or you will be 1 hour early!
So it's a change of pace. Turn in early on Saturday night, and come out and enjoy a casual drive/breakfast/more driving with the Boston folks. I figured with the long-overdue nice weather that's finally returning this weekend, this will compliment our midnight runs.
Details (feel free to join us at any rendezvous point):
8 AM - Meet at "The Lot"
http://www.ski-paddle.com/boston/directions.html
(Easy access without any roads through downtown, and off major routes (I-93, Rt. 2, I-90), even the suburb streets will be dead with no traffic at that hour.)
Leave at 8:30 AM sharp for Wachusett Mountain State Reservation, with a pitstop for a quick breakfast to meet up with others. Shoot on the Pike. When on the Mass Pike you will want the first exit after 495. It will be the Rt. 122 Exit (should take us about 30 minutes). At the end of the exit, take a right, and head south on Rt. 122. You will travel through about two lights and on your left, across from the Pond, is the Dunkin Donuts (DD). The other group will be in the parking lot after the DD. We depart around 9:15 AM and arrive around 9:45 AM at the park to shoot the breeze for a bit.

(Scenic driving tour to catch what's left of the foliage.)
Depart from the park at 10:30 AM for Ft. Devens to see the BMW CCA Test & Tune event (you can sign up and participate if you want to , but I'm just going to be a spectator).
