Summary
Known by locals as the "Tri State Ride" because it goes through the states of Vermont, Massachusetts and New Hampshire, this ride is like riding through a real picture postcard. The ride is moderately hilly. Half way through the ride we will stop in Northfield, MA at an ice cream stand for snacks and an ice cream cone! Participants should be experienced cyclists and have road bikes, not hybrids or mountain bikes. This is a 45-mile bike ride and we will be riding at a moderate pace of 14-15 mph. Maps will be provided at the beginning of the ride. We will meet in Brattleboro, depart at noon and expect to be done by 4:00. Following the ride participants are invited and welcome to come to Frog Meadow B&B for a hot tub and dip in the pond. BYOB & snacks! Rain Date Sunday September 7.
Directions To Trailhead Parking Lot
We will meet in Brattleboro at the parking lot at the intersection of Route 30 (AKA Linden Street) and Cedar Street immed north of downtown Brattleboro.
From Interstate 91 (north or south), take Exit 2 and make a left turn on Western Ave (Route 9), proceed appx .3 mile to Cedar Street and make a left turn. Continue to 3rd stop sign which is Linden Street/Route 30. The parking area is directly across route 30 from the intersection.
NOTE: Please plan to arrive by 11.30 so we can depart promptly at noon!

- Comment: I'm leaving from Southborough, MA (I-495 and Rt.9 or I-90) Friday afternoon and will be spending the weekend at Frogmeadow. I'd like to carpool with someone traveling from the Boston area or the western suburbs.

Looks like a nice turnout so far - including several new faces! If you're interested in lodging there are 2 rooms available at Frog Meadow and the GO 10% can be applied. Check our availability calendar for deets. Paul M. (AKA DuMonde) is looking for a rideshare if you're coming up from Boston, please get in touch w/ him to coordinate. Also I'm posting a 60-miler through the Pioneer Valley Oct 4 if you'd like to join us for a longer ride this fall.
