The Mass BikePike Tour is a celebration of cycling in Massachusetts. Families and individuals who want a move leisurely pace will enjoy ample opportunity to explore the state’s scenic byways, quaint towns, and all the varied attractions the region has to offer. All the routes are hilly, but if you really want to test yourself, we have an option on day 3 to climb Mt. Wachusett which includes a one mile climb at a steady 9% grade to the Visitors Center at the State Park and then a climb up the mountain access road to the summit at 2,000 feet above sea level. Overnight stops will feature great places to camp (indoor options available) and hardy meals featuring fresh local products. Participants who prefer an alternative to camping can choose to stay close by at local inns or B&Bs
Registered riders will receive maps, route descriptions, lists of local attractions along the route, access to snack stops, SAG support, a commemorative T-shirt, and the camaraderie of friendly folks having a good time. Proceeds from the event will benefit MassBike, the statewide bicycle advocacy group.
