Summer Rides
Join us for a series of summer bike rides along the Mass Central Rail Trail
Our experienced ride leaders are hosting a series of informal bike rides stretching from Weston to Ware this summer. Come explore the rail trail and some of its unique features on one of these rides.
You must pre-register for the rides using this Google Form and sign a release waiver.
Note: The Aug 9th W. Boylston Holden ride has reached maximum participation, and registration is closed. If you weren't able to sign up, we hope you can join us instead for one of the Ware rides on Aug 17th!
All rides are free. Bring your bike and water. We'll have some light snacks, and some of the rides will include an optional treat from a local vendor for purchase.
