This is a 2-day overnight trip. We will ride all day on Saturday, 9/30, camp in the DAR state forest at tent sites, and then ride all day Sunday 10/1 back to the starting point.
The two ride distances are over 2 days.
The 40-mile ride is 27 miles on the first day and 14 on the second. The 40-mile route meets at the parking lot of Hampshire Regional High School at 10 AM.
The 60-mile ride is 36 miles on the first day and 28 on the second. The 60-mile route meets at the Lossone Ice Rink Lot at 9 AM (parking for the 60-mile route is along Garfield Ave in Easthampton, please park on the street and meet us at the rink by 9 AM!)
The longer ride is a figure 8 - the route extension is a ride to and from the start of the 40-mile ride. Once the riders from the 60-mile route arrive at Hampshire Regional High School, we will all ride together!
BOTH ROUTES INVOLVE GRAVEL ROADS, SOME TECHNICAL DOUBLE TRACK, SINGLETRACK + UNMAINTAINED ROADS. OFF-ROAD BIKE HANDLING SKILLS ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS RIDE. WE RECOMMEND AT LEAST 700X38 OR 27.5/26X1.9 TIRES FOR THE RIDE. IDEALLY WITH SOME AMOUNT OF TREAD/KNOBBY BITS. LARGER TIRES WILL BE MORE COMFORTABLE, SMALLER WILL REQUIRE MORE ADVANCED HANDLING SKILLS.
