Overview

Join us for a delightful 20-mile group bicycle ride at a relaxed pace (12-14 mph average) on well-paved and mostly flat roads. We will convene on the UMass Amherst and get on our bikes and take a short ride to visit the UMass sun wheel, a hidden gem. We will follow scenic country roads in Hadley and Sunderland before returning to our starting point at UMass. This ride is suitable for anyone comfortable with being continuously active in the outdoors for 90 minutes. You must have a road, touring, or hybrid bike in good working order, a properly fitting bicycle helmet, a spare bicycle tube that fits your tires, water, and a light snack.
