BOCCE:
It’s spectacular! Bocce is now in full bloom and we play whenever we get a break from the weather. We’ve had a full range of hot, cold, and moderate temperatures, blue skies and bright sunshine for playing by the lake. We don’t play in inclement weather (we usually go inside to play pool instead), but otherwise we’re there every Wednesday at 9 a.m., all year round. We’ve been pleased to welcome some new and some returning players.
For some competitive fun, spirited conversation and fabulous views of Lake Massapoag (all for free), come and join us. No equipment or previous bocce experience is needed. We have two courts directly facing the Community Center, and it’s worth a look. For questions, contact Ken Siegal at sharonmensclub@gmail.org.
BIKING GROUP:
LIKE TO BIKE? The biking group has already done two rides, and more are being planned. Last week's ride went along the Blackstone Valley Rail Trail, about 20 miles over three hours with a lunch stop. For details on joining this group on their next bike ride, contact Lew Victor or Neil Rosen. We are not MAMILS (middle-age men in Lycra). We are just a group of guys out for a bike ride. Depending on the trip, we try to ride 18–20 miles over @ three hours on side roads and bike trails. Neil Rosen (neilrosen@gmail.com) and Lew Victor (lewvictor@mac.com) have been coordinating the trips. Several other members of the club have joined us and expressed interest in riding. We welcome e-bikers as well.
