Overview

Join us for a scenic 25-mile ride in the Pioneer Valley towns of Hatfield, Whately, and Deerfield. The ride starts out on flat terrain in South Deerfield for a good warm-up and then has some nice hills for getting those legs in climbing shape (total of 600 feet of ascent). We make our way through Hatfield and Whately and eventually return to South Deerfield. We will keep the group together riding at a moderate 12-14 mph average regrouping/stopping for a snack along the way. You will need a road bike, hybrid bike, or pedal-assist ebike in good working order, a helmet, snack, water, and tube to fix a flat.
