- Start at 9 a.m
- Everyone need to be at the finish not later then 1 p.m
Best way from Sheraton - take RT 93 North through downtown Boston until RT 1, this way you only will have to deal with traffic on RT 93 for about 5-7 miles. Once you will get off 93 you will be driving on RT 1 opposite to traffic. You can take a Callahan tunnel or bridge to RT 1.
Some questions:
1) What is the latest time one can start at the training event?
2) Is there still a meeting at 7pm on Friday? If so, where?
3) Will Sat and Sun start times be posted here?
It looks like there are two possible routes from the Sheraton in Braintree to the practice venue. The direct route is to take I-93 into
downtown then Route 1 north to Saugus. That route is 23 miles long and Google estimates “about 35 minutes”. The other route is to take the I-95/128 loop all the way around the west side of the city and then take Route 1 south. That route is 44 miles or “about 56 minutes”. Given that we will all be driving there during the rush hour of a weekday morning, what is the best route to take? Would the loop highway be much less prone to traffic? Should we plan on an hour either way? 90 minutes?
Do not take drive around by 93/128 - this would be a killer!

Any answers to my possibly newbie-ish questions?
