9 Towns, Bridges & Rivers Road Bike Ride

Join us for a 62-mile spin from S Vermont through the backroads of the Pioneer Valley of Massachusetts south to historic Deerfield and back to VT

The ride is moderately hilly with some wonderfully exhilarating downhills. Halfway through the ride we will stop in historic Old Deerfield for snacks!

Participants should be experienced cyclists and have road bikes, not hybrids or mountain bikes. This is a 60-mile bike ride and we will be riding at a moderate pace of 14-15 mph.
