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!
