    The Stow Conservation Trust is once again having its Bike for the Woods charity bike ride!

    The ride is great for families and children as well as more “serious” riders, with well-marked routes of 5, 14, 37 and 65 miles. All routes are arrowed and there are GPS files for bike computers. All proceeds benefit the Stow Conservation Trust.

    When: Sunday, August 11 at 9:00 a.m.

    Where: starting at the Hartley Road entrance of Stow’s Center School at 403 Great Road. Parking will be available on both sides of the school, but the ride starts on the Hartley Road side. Enter “Hartley Road, Stow, MA” in your car’s GPS.

    Cost: $25 per adult rider or $15 per child (with a $50 maximum per family) if you register early. Same day registration costs are $5 higher. 

    Registration: online at BikeReg.com (search for “stow bike for the woods”) or at Bike For the Woods

    Food (cider donuts and peaches among other goodies!) and drink are available at the start and at rest stops for the longer rides.

    Come join the fun!

    As one would expect, this IS the best time of the year for riding outside in New England and beyond.

    With this in mind, the CRW-Devo group has lined up a series of EXTRAORDINARY rides that will certainly be the highlight of anyone's 2024 riding season. Check the final one out:

    - Vermont 6 Gaps - 130 Miles - 12K ft Elevation - 08/03 - https://www.crw.org/event-5789110

    Sign up for one or more of these rides. Let's have "fun" on the roads of New England and beyond, before old man Winter comes and confines us all to the trainer for the following four months.
