Description: For fifty years, the Southeastern Massachusetts Chapter of the Appalachian Mountain Club has forged a legacy of adventure, conservation and community across the vast forests, rocky peaks, and sparkling coastlines of the New England region we call home. Join us as we mark 50 years of amazing memories and the enduring power of our shared passion! Participants in "SEM 50" activities will receive a commemorative pin & will be entered into a raffle with prizes awarded at the end of the year.
Join us for a Spring road bike ride through Westport and Dartmouth, MA. We will ride for 24 miles on quiet, well-maintained roads with some rolling hills, past farms and conservation lands, water ways and stone walls. The pace will be approximately 12mph. Partway through the ride, we will stop at the Parson's Reserve, maintained by Dartmouth Natural Resources Trust, (DNRT) to view the daffodil fields in bloom. A bike in good working condition, a helmet and flashing red tail light are required to ride. Please also have water, a snack, a spare bike tube and clothing layers appropriate for changeable Spring weather. Bring a bike lock, as we will leave our bikes at a park across the street from the reserve, and walk 1/4 mile up a woodchip lined path to the fields. DNRT request a $5 per person cash donation. Sustained rain will result in cancellation of this ride. https://dnrt.org/pars
This is a re-schedule from the originally planned ride on 4/19/26, which was cancelled due to forecast of rain.
