Ride Description:

This ride traditionally honors CRW Presidents, past and present. We hope to have as many in attendance as possible.

Past Presidents:  Ken Hablow, Larry Kernan, Barry Nelson, Sam Johnson, Ed Cheng, John Springfield, Mike Hanauer, Jamie King, Doug Kline, Eli Post

CRW (Past) President Larry Kernan and Mary Kernan are thrilled to invite you to join them for one of their favorite cycling routes followed by a lunchtime BBQ at their home. BBQ event details will be sent to attendees the week before the ride.

This long ride (39 miles)) starts in Bedford with a climb up Page Road. We’ll wind through Lexington and into Lincoln with an even better climb up Bedford Road. The ride hits some of the prettiest back roads through Wayland and Sudbury with plenty of shade and new pavement.  The route includes two of Larry's favorite roads -- Pelham Island Road and Water Row. You can take a break at Verrill Farm at mile 28, but you’ll want to save your appetite.  

The short ride (31 miles) mercifully eliminates the early climb up Page Road and skips a swing around Pelham Island Road but still hits many of the best parts of the ride. 

Ride Start Location:

There is a restroom available at the ride start, behind the Bedford Depot. Parking for the ride is either at the Bedford Depot or across the street, behind Bikeway Source (a great local bike shop!). The ride will start behind Bikeway Source.
