Location

Massachusetts, Connecticut River Valley,
MA

Registration

Registration is required for this activity.

Overview

See the rural aspects of Sunderland and enjoy some very quiet roads. There will be a couple of challenging, but short climbs. We ride counter-clockwise in this loop through Montague Center, Turners Falls and Old Deerfield. The ride will be at a pleasant pace as we continue to work our way to the end of the 2024 cycling season. We will keep the group together riding at a moderate 12-13 mph average regrouping/stopping for a snack along the way. If we don't know you, you will be contacted once you register and asked to answer a few screening questions. You will need a road bike, hybrid bike, or pedal-assist e-bike (no throttle) in good working order, a helmet, snack, water, and tube or tubeless tire kit to fix a flat. Once confirmed, you will be sent a detailed information sheet with the starting point along with all necessary guidance. The information sheet is sent either two or three days prior to the ride.
