Ride Description: please see key details in red font, including timing and start location
Enjoy this delightful ride with a friendly group. The 23 mile route spans Newton and Weston, passing by beautiful historic homes. The 36 miles adds Sudbury and the 52 reaches Stow.
Why is it called a donut ride? Because we have a pre-ride social gathering for anyone who wants to join at the Dunkin Donuts next door to the ride start, with a free coffee and donut on CRW's tab.
The ride is show-and-go, which means everyone goes at their own pace. Be sure to download the GPS or print a cue sheet ahead (no printed copies at the ride start). Please don't rely on being able to follow someone else as there's no set pace.
Ride Start Location:
1. The ride start and parking is behind the red brick condo building at 1172 Beacon St., Newton (not at the Dunkin Donuts). The parking is free but please park in the back only.
2. The pre-ride social is right next door at the Dunkin Donuts at 1148 Beacon St., Newton (it has bathrooms). It is a 1 minute walk from the ride start.
Timing
