Ride Description:
A classic CRW ride, intended to be fun and friendly for participants at all paces. On this route, we ride through Concord Center and across Monument Street, while the longer route takes you into Carlisle. We divide into multiple pace groups at the beginning so you can meet others who will be riding at your same speed. If you find yourself dropped, just wait for the next group to come along!
There are two route options, a 30-mile route and a 20-mile route. Both routes start out the same so riders can all start together. The 30-mile route will take a brief rest stop just past the mid-point at Great Brook Farm*, which offers water and restroom (as well as ice cream and farm animals if you hike up the short trail to the barn) to re-group. Gather for a coffee / pastry break and social after the ride at Tatte Bakery & Café in Lexington.
The ride leader for this ride will be leading the 30-mile route with a pace in the range of 13-15 mph. Other riders are encouraged to self-group according to pace.
If rain is forecast or if it appears too hot, the ride may shift from Saturday to Sunday. Notice will be provided re any changes.
* We hope to one day resume stopping at the former location of Fern's in Carlisle if/when it reopens as a suitable stop, though it remains closed for now.
