Ride Description:

Latest ETA for the tall ships. The smaller ships that fit under the bridges of the Cape Cod Canal will likely arrive in their mooring area off Deer Island during our ride. The larger ships have taken a more southerly route that will put them near Provincetown around Noon Friday. That's 7-8 hours away from Boston which puts their arrival around dusk or later on Friday, too late for them to be seen during our ride. But, stuff happens. Maybe we'll see a masthead before we leave the Island. Please re-load the RWGPS route. There have been some changes to omit riding in areas where there are no ships to be seen.

The tall ships are coming to Boston on July 11 2026 to parade into the harbor.

Since they be arriving over the preceding several days, let's beat the crowds and sneak in a preview the day before the main event. We'll bike along the harbor shore and their mooring area off Deer Island. Not a regular venue for CRW rides but, with discrete use of the East Boston ferry and the multitude of bike paths, we miss the all the fun commercial traffic of Chelsea and Eastie. Not a lotta climbing except up to the vantage point on Deer Island that overlooks the harbor. About 34 miles but it'll take longer to do since there are ferry rides on both the outgoing and return legs. $2.40 ferry fare each way.

Ride Start Location:

Dennehy Park in Cambridge, behind the Fresh Pond mall.

We'll ride though Rockland, Norwell, and Hingham on our way to and from the coast. The long ride is 54 miles; the short ride is 41 miles. Both rides are flat to rolling, with some short but steep sections to keep us honest. Both rides includes the cottages on Jerusalem Road, 2 lighthouses, 3 Windmills, 4 harbors, and countless other Photo Ops and starts with a 4-mile downhill. The long ride adds 12 miles of almost dead-flat riding along Nantasket Beach.

I haven't figured out how to avoid the uphill on the way back, yet!

Ride time is

8:30 sharp, until memorial day weekend
7:30 sharp, Memorial Day weekend - Labor day weekend
8:30 Sharp, after Labor Day

Both the long and short rides start at 7:30 SHARP to avoid traffic. Set your alarm clock for early Sunday morning. you'll be glad you did.

We typically stop at Scituate Harbor for coffee at Coffee Corner or Dunkin, and for restrooms. The long ride also stops at the Windmill in Hull gut.

Rain may cancel the ride, or it may become a show and go. if the weather is iffy, check this page Sunday after 6 AM.

Attendees: We welcome your feedback about your event experience here:
Ride Feedback Form

ATTENTION: THE NOVEMBER RIDE WILL ROLL OUT AT 8:30 AM FOR IMPROVED RIDER COMFORT

Ride Description:

This is a relatively flat and short course, which we hope will serve as an introduction to more ambitious rides as the season progresses and riders build endurance. This is a good ride to build distance and speed, which can open the doors to more cycling opportunities. It's a scenic route going by the Old Grist Mill and Ponyhenge on gorgeous, tree-lined New England roads.

This is a drop ride - There is no sweep. All riders should have the route and be able to navigate back to the start if need be. That being said, we'll try to stick together in groups as best we can.

Inclement Weather:

The ride leader will email registrants and post on the "demo" channel of CRW Slack if the ride needs to be cancelled for weather or other reasons.

Equipment requirements:

Bike, helmet, backlights and good humor to deal with what will be thrown at you.

Ride Start Location:

There's ample parking in front of Weston Town Hall. We'll meet in front of town hall at the beginning of the ride. There are plenty of options in town center for lunch or coffee post ride.

Helmets are required on all CRW rides. Riders are expected to follow the CRW Code of Conduct and be familiar with:

Ride Description:

A group that enjoys exploring a variety of scenic routes, mostly in the western suburbs, but also to the north or south. Occasionally we do an urban exploration. We always include a lunch stop, either during or at the end of the ride. In the winter we may substitute other activities, such as walking, hiking or cross-country skiing. We stay together, following the leader for the day, while being careful not to drop anyone. On a rural ride of average hilliness, the pace is 15 to 17 mph on the flats, but slows considerably on the hills, so we wind up with a rolling average of about 13 mph. In fairness to the group, we require that prospective riders be capable of maintaining this pace. Distances are typically between 30 and 40 miles.

Non-members of CRW are welcome to ride with us and experience what the Wednesday Wheelers offer. If you like our rides, however, and wish to continue to ride with us, we expect you to become a CRW member.

Ride Description:

Everything tastes good after a big ride, but nothing tastes better than a LOBSTER ROLL on a summer day on the North Shore! Join us for a gorgeous sea side figure-eight loop through Essex, Gloucester, and Rockport.

The route starts and ends at Woodman's of Essex, the mother of all lobster shacks. Woodman's used to only take cash, but they now accept credit cards at last. Even an old barnacle like me has to admit that some change at Woodman's is good!

Bathroom/regroup at 12.1 mi visitor center; Rockport Ice cream rest stop at 25.2 mi (but don't spoil your appetite).

There is an unpaved section around mile 20.5 that takes you to a beautiful beach, but you can skip this by staying on the main road, which will soon reconnect with the planned route.

Note that there are no bathrooms open the starting point at 9AM. The Mobil gas station on Main St. is your best bet.

Ride Start Location:

119 Main St, Essex, MA 01929 (Please park in the large lot in the back.)

West Podunk, Summer Edition (47, 32) (2026-08-08)

Sat, 08 Aug 2026 13:30:00 GMT

CRW Rides are open to members and guests. Guests may attend two rides before being required to join the club. Please click the Register button to the left to join the ride. Helmets are required on all CRW rides. Template 20230709

Ride Description:

New for 2026 is the summertime edition of the West Podunk ride. Both distances include a few roads rarely visited by CRW, with nice sections in Groton, Townsend, Lunenburg, Shirley, and a return through Devens.

The long ride includes a newer loop further north and west on more back roads in Lunenburg and Townsend. (The long ride no longer goes south into Lancaster, Bolton, and Harvard.) Both routes only pass through one traffic light. Short ride has 1,500 ft. of climbing. Long ride has 2,300 feet of climbing. And you might catch a glimpse of the Abominable Snowman out of hibernation.

Limited snacks and drinks available at convenience store in Lunenburg, but opportunities otherwise slim, so BYO.

Ride Start Location:

Nashua River Rail Trail, Ayer Commuter Parking Garage, 3 Groton St., Ayer. Please park and meet at the far end of the garage. Because the start location is a parking garage with limited height, if you have bikes on a roof rack, park in the small commuter lot (on Park St., Ayer) on the left side of the road before you get to the Dunkin Donuts, then ride the last 1/10th mile to the parking garage on Groton St. No restrooms at the start, but there are now restrooms nearby at Depot Square Park (the Ayer commuter rail train station), as well as at several gas stations and the Dunkin Donuts.

CRW Climb to the Clouds - 2026 (2026-08-16)

Sun, 16 Aug 2026 11:00:00 GMT

CRW Century Rides are open to members only. Please click the Register button to join the ride or click here to join CRW.

What comes down must go up!

Climb to the Clouds will test your biking abilities with lots of climbing including Mt. Wachusett for the 100-mile Imperial Century distance.

This year we offer TWO 63-mile Metric Century route options: one that bypasses Mt. Wawa with a beautiful loop around the Wachusett reservoir (but still challenges you with "Mt Woobly" in Hudson, Long Hill in Bolton, Sawyer Hill in Berlin and Harvard Rd in Bolton); AND an alternative 63-mile out-and-back route that includes the fabled Wawa summit climb!

Metric or Imperial, everyone who completes the ride gets the new CRW Climb To The Clouds medallion to add to their century collection.

We will have full-service stops available at Drexler Drumlin Reservation, 192 George Hill Road Lancaster MA, at Berlin Orchards 310 Sawyer Hill Road Berlin MA 01503, and Mt. Wachusett Visitor Entrance. All rest stops will have porta johns.

Come prepared! We recommend that you bring a rain shell to deal with any precipitation which may happen on your ride, and the cooler descent!

Ride Start:

Imperial Century 7:30am

Metric Century 8:30am

Ride Start Location:

Lincoln-Sudbury High School parking lot

390 Lincoln Road, Sudbury MA 01776

(Very Limited Cell Service - Wahoo and Garmin might be challenged at ride start)

CRWSAG Number: 573-279-2739 Text or Voicemail, only

Link to RGPS Routes - Coming soon. See last year's for reference.

Led Pace Groups:

100 miles - TBD

63 miles Round the reservoir - TBD

63 miles Summit out-and-back - Peter Sousounis 13-14 average drop

Important: With over 6000ft elevation on the century you should anticipate your average speed to drop 3-5 mph over the course of 100 miles. When choosing a pace group, you must adjust your expectations accordingly.

Volunteer for the Event here: https://volunteersignup.org/QJX3M

Volunteers ride this or another Century Event for free and join us at our end of year appreciation celebration!

*** If you would like to lead a pace group on this century, contact century@crw.org to get on the roster!

*** Ride Leaders who have led a CRW ride within the past year are eligible for complimentary century registration! If that's you, contact our VP of Rides at rides-vp@crw.org for a special discount code.

Ride Description

Come take a tour around the Wachusett Reservoir and reward yourself with ice cream at Erikson's Dairy at the end. The ice cream is on us (1 small ice cream), but you will earn your treat, as the long and medium routes climb Wattaquadock Hill in Bolton. 37 mile route omits Wachusset reservoir loop. The 24 mile route omits both the reservoir and Wattaquadock Hill. But all three routes climb Long Hill Road in Bolton (like I said, you will earn that ice cream!) but it's worth it.

This is a limited rider event so sign up early!

This is a club members only event.

Please note Erikson's doesn't open until 11:00 so pace yourself accordingly.

Riders must provide their own route navigation. It will be hot; bring adequate water and food, especially for the long route. Do the long route only if you are sure you can do it! there will be two rest stops for the long route, one for the medium route and short route.

Please click the Register button to sign up for this ride.

Helmets are required on all CRW rides. Riders are expected to follow the CRW Code of Conduct and be familiar with:

Ride Overview

Ride Description:

Circumnavigate the gorgeous coastline, marshes, quiet roads, and a few hills from Little Compton through Acoaxet, Adamsville, Sapowet Marsh, Fogland Beach, Sakonnet Vineyard, and Sakonnet Lighthouse. Hear the story of "Sin and Flesh" and other historic and funny notes of the area along the way. Look it up or wait for the tour!

Lunch stop is in Tiverton Four Corners and we picnic at Gray's Ice Cream. Bring your own lunch or buy local. Groundswell - lovely foods. https://www.groundswellguild.com/locations/cafe-bakery

Tiverton Four Corners has galleries and shopping too. You'll want to come back.

Following the ride Iweather dependent) we hit the beach at South Shore Beach, 140 South Shore Road 2.5 miles from the start - no lifeguard, free parking, sand beach, great water! After it's classic seafood dinner at Evelyn's Drive-In 2335 Main Road, Tiverton, RI before heading home. Call to ask about dietary options.

Mike Schuttenberg created this route back in the 90's and named it 'Sin and Flesh'. Mike rode his last ride in April 2018 and passed in October from pancreatic cancer. He was a long time CRW member and Mike loved nothing better than sharing a full day of laughter and conversation with friends, old and new. We hope you'll join us. I run this ride in honor of MIke.

Led Ride: (10-12 mph). Show and Go - though everyone seems to stick together to learn all the history.

Totally a social ride, lots of sights to see, history to chat about, dip your feet in the water kinda day. Back at the start by 3; hit the beach if you choose and at Eveyn's maybe by 6ish depending on how wonderful the beach or how hungry we are! Some may skip the beach altogether. If you are vegan - call Evelyn's for workarounds for a good meal. It can be done.

Newton-Weston Donut ride (23, 36 or 52 miles) (2026-09-13)

Sun, 13 Sep 2026 13:15:00 GMT

Ride Description: please see key details in purple 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.

This ride is show-and-go, which means everyone goes at their own pace (there is no led pace and no sweep). But when we gather in the parking area, we will form subgroups by ride length and you may choose to cluster with others as you ride. Proper navigation tools are required: GPS device or phone app. Please do not rely on others to help you with navigation as they may ride at a different speed than you.

Adverse weather may cancel or postpone the ride. Check the website 8 am on Saturday for updates.

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

a. The pre-ride social is from 915am to 945am at Dunkin Donuts For the free coffee and donut (or anything else, up to $5 per person), ask Lisa for the credit card. Anytime up to 'last call' at 925a).

b. The ride: pre-ride overview is at 950am, and the ride will begin promptly at 10am. The ride begins at the back of 1172 Beacon St. (not at the Dunkin Donuts).

If the ride is canceled for weather or other issues it will be listed here as canceled by the night before so check here in the a.m. before you head out.

West Podunk, Fall Edition (47, 32) (2026-09-27)

Sun, 27 Sep 2026 13:30:00 GMT

Ride Description:

Both distances include a few roads rarely visited by CRW, with nice sections in Groton, Townsend, Lunenburg, Shirley, and a return through Devens.

The long ride includes a loop further north and west on more back roads in Lunenburg and Townsend. (The long ride no longer goes south into Lancaster, Bolton, and Harvard.) Both routes only pass through one traffic light. Short ride has 1,500 ft. of climbing. Long ride has 2,300 feet of climbing. And you might catch a glimpse of the Abominable Snowman out of hibernation.

Limited snacks and drinks available at convenience store in Lunenburg, but opportunities otherwise slim, so BYO.

Ride Start Location:

Nashua River Rail Trail, Ayer Commuter Parking Garage, 3 Groton St., Ayer. Please park and meet at the far end of the garage. Because the start location is a parking garage with limited height, if you have bikes on a roof rack, park in the small commuter lot (on Park St., Ayer) on the left side of the road before you get to the Dunkin Donuts, then ride the last 1/10th mile to the parking garage on Groton St. No restrooms at the start, but there are now restrooms nearby at Depot Square Park (by the Ayer train station), as well as at several gas stations and the Dunkin Donuts.
