About us
IMPORTANT: We have retired the separate AMC Worcester Third Wednesday Meetup group. At this point it does not make sense to maintain 2 distinct Meetup groups, so if you are not already a part of our main AMC Worcester Meetup group, please join here now. All future Third Wednesday events will be posted here.
The Appalachian Mountain Club is America's oldest conservation and recreation organization. The AMC promotes the protection, enjoyment and stewardship of the mountains, forests, waters and trails of the Appalachian region. The mission of AMC Worcester is to encourage people to enjoy and appreciate the natural world because we believe that successful conservation depends on this experience.

We would love to have you join us as a Member of our AMC Worcester Chapter. Click here to join.

Essentials of Cycle Touring Seminar
Millbury Public Library, 128 Elm Street, Millbury, MA, USRegistration Required: https://activities.outdoors.org/s/oc-activity/a5UUN000001zp1p2AA/act00017635
Like to backpack? Like to ride your bike? Why not combine the two? This one-day seminar on Saturday April 4th now moved to the Millbury Public Library, 128 Elm St in Millbury (instead of DCR’s Blackstone Heritage Corridor Visitor Center in Worcester), will cover the basic information needed to get you cycle touring.
We will cover what makes an ideal touring bicycle, but more importantly, how you can tour with YOUR bike. We will cover the different types of touring (fully loaded, supported, credit card), route/trip planning, finding places to stay, methods and systems for packing your panniers, alternatives to panniers, equipment lists, cycling safety, and provide an array of handouts on where to find specific information and resources. We will touch on the new sport of "Bikepacking" and explain what it’s all about. The morning session will be a PowerPoint presentation covering the topics above. In the afternoon, we will have bicycles loaded for travel with their owners available to answer questions on equipment, packing, bicycle preferences, and cycle touring in general. We all have preferred methods and equipment for travel by bicycle, this is your chance to observe and talk about others' preferences, and make a better informed decision about what may work best for you.
As a class participant, you will be given preference to one of our “easy” 2-day/one night mini tours to a local state park. This could be the first step to your next big adventure!
You must pre-register, no “walk in’s” please.
