Charles – Medfield to Dover – July 4, 2020

At the put-in

The "early morning crew" did a bike shuttle today on the Charles River from Bridge Street in Dover (5 Bridge St, Dover, MA 02030) to West Street in Medfield (101 West St, Medfield, MA 02052) - about 4-miles. For me, this was the third weekend in a row for a bike shuttle, and I'm starting to realize that it has advantages - great exercise, get's rid of boring "up-and-back" trips, and gives me options for trips even when I am alone. I'm liking it.

Today's trip was on a pretty section of Charles that runs through the Rocky Narrows. The original plan was to go all the way down to the Natick Dam (South Natick Dam Park, 9 Pleasant St, South Natick, MA 01760 - 7-miles) but we scaled it back - probably just as well for a bunch of old guys. As usual, put-in was empty when we met at 8:00, but was mobbed by the time we got back to the cars around 11:30.

Started off cloudy, but the sun came out later
