About us
The Boston Chapter Bicycle Committee offers a wide variety of rides to cyclists of all abilities in the greater Boston area and beyond. We have day rides, evening rides, weekend in the mountains or on the Vineyard rides, short rides, long rides, easy rides, advanced rides-something for almost every one.
We also get together socially after the rides or at the annual rally and offer workshops where all can learn to fix a flat, adjust the brakes and ride safely and responsibly.
Our purpose is to bring cyclists together in a friendly social atmosphere in which people can acquire new skills and enhance old ones. Our leaders are all volunteers who have mapped out routes on some of the area's most beautiful byways.
Most of our rides provide a lead and a sweep, as well as a cue sheet and/or map. We do our best to keep you on track as well as to keep you safe! Helmets are required on all our rides. We also group rides into easy, intermediate or advanced, so that you can ride with others at a similar pace.

1 attendeeAMC 150 Event - Uxbridge to Wadsworth Evening Bike Ride
Location not specified yetActivity Type: Biking | Road
Difficulty: 4 - Moderate
Trip Leader(s): Sheila Spitzak
Registration Type: Show & Go
Please Click Here to RSVP:https://activities.outdoors.org/a5UUN000001s8Hl
Audience: AdultsDescription: Join us next June in celebrating 150 years of AMC with the AMC 150th Relay—a 1,500-mile journey from Virginia to Maine. Join the celebration by participating in a relay segment, attending a local event, or sharing your AMC story. Together, we’ll honor the past and shape the future of outdoor adventure.
For this leg of the relay, we will bicycle the paved Blackstone River Greenway on the border of RI passing by historical railroad landmarks and crossing the Blackstone River multiple times. We then take to the roads of Blackstone Village and maybe test our mountain bike skills along the unfinished portion of the trail to East Blackstone. We will continue on the Southern New England Trunkline Trail (SNETT), passing through the forgotten small village of Wadsworth, and turning around in Franklin back to Uxbridge. This will be an out-and-back trip so prepare for 24 miles of bicycling with some moderate hills. We will be traveling 8-12 mph. Bring snacks and water for occasional breaks. The sun sets at approximately 8:28 pm that night. Optional dinner after the relay adventure. Sorry, no bathrooms along route.
This trip is for you if you like to do an evening bicycle ride with some historical sites and beautiful river views. While the bicycle trail is easy, the middle portion of the rail-trail may not be completed by June 12, 2026 and therefore we will either bypass the unfinished area along busy roads or walk/ride with our bicycles the rockier sections (approximately 2.2 miles).Reminder: Please click the RSVP link above to register!
