Description: 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).
