What we’re about
This group is for people who would like to bike on the various rail trails in northern MA and southern NH, both paved and unpaved. When mountain biking on unpaved trails, we will definitely NOT be rock hopping or stump jumping; none of that crazy stuff. We'll stick to mostly flat rail trails and parks, maintaining a moderate pace and with several water breaks along the way. We'll be offering both weekend and mid-week rides, possibly some evening rides, too.
Most of the trails we'll do are in the range of 15 - 25 miles round trip, which translates into a riding time of approximately 2 - 3 hours, depending on the length of the ride and the breaks we take along the way. Our rides are intended as social activities, rather than physical challenges or a biking competition. Participants are encouraged to bike at their own pace, whatever that may be. We'll stop and regroup from time to time, to make sure that we don't lose anybody on the trail. See our Rail Trail Resources page for links to descriptions of the trails we ride.
You can also check out the trails we ride by visiting our Virtual Bike Ride page in the group's message boards.

See all- Great Cycle Challenge to Fight Kids CancerChildren's Cancer Research Fund, Minneapolis, MN
Roberta Mercier, a longtime member of our group (she's in our esteemed 100-ride club), has annually participated in the Great Cycle Challenge to Fight Kids Cancer. Unfortunately, Roberta recently suffered a cycling accident that resulted in a broken hand. Consequently, she won't be riding for some time, so she needs our help to complete her challenge. Even though she can't physically ride, let's help Roberta with her fundraising efforts by making a donation on her behalf. As a cancer survivor myself, this is a cause that's close to my heart. I've been happy to support Roberta over the past few years, and I hope that you will see it in your heart to join me.
This is Roberta's 7th year participating in the Great Cycle Challenge, and over that time she has ridden 2,760 miles and raised $3,359.
