Looking for a place to ride?

Below you will find links to maps and directions for various rides. For some rides, you will find a map, as well as directions for each trip. There are trips that we've personally done and mapped out and others are trips that have been submitted to us by other riders, or are links to other sites that offer trip maps.

Our Rides 
 
The Barkhampsted Loop - Approximately 55 miles. This trip begins in Southwick, MA, takes you into northern Connecticut, through the begining of the Berkshires and returns you back to Southwick where you begin. Enjoy some beautiful sites along the way!  
 
Laconia, NH Bike Week Ride - This is a great ride that we do when we visit Laconia. We're fortunate to be close enough visit this area more than once per year. Be sure to give this one a go if you're in the area for Bike Week this year.
 
Westfield, MA Start - This ride takes you on some great roads. It will kill 3 hours or so...
 
Curtis' Roadside BBQ in Putney, VT - If you're looking for an awesome ride and some great BBQ, kill a day on this one!
 
TOW Ride May 6, 2008 - If you click on the link, you will be brought to the riding maps and directions we used for this ride. It begins and ends in West Suffield, CT though you can pick it up anywhere along the way. The area is beautiful and we make a stop at the Littleville Dam in Huntington, MA.
 
Other Suggested Rides
 
Start in Agawam, MA - This one sounds great! It was suggested by Karl in Agawam, MA. He indicates it is roughly 225 miles and takes around six hours to do.
 
Kelley's Ride MA - This ride sounds like another great one. The distance is really up to you but the area sounds beautiful.
 
Agawam, MA 2-3 Hour Jaunt - I've done most of this one and love it. Be sure to read the description as there's a great stop or two along the way!
 
Litchfield Loop CT - Here's a great ride that was suggested to us. Make sure to set aside some time for exploring on this one!
 
Here are three rides planned for this year's Bennington Triumph Bash in Bennington, VT. The PDF files contain route maps and directions. If you make the event, these rides will be guided. If not, give them a try and let us know what you thing! Here are the links:
 
Gaps Ride, 290 miles. This one’s for the sport riders—lots of twisties, quick pace. This ride includes the legendary Appalachian Gap.
 
Adirondacks Ride, 225 miles. This is a more casually-paced ride through some spectacular scenery in NY’s Adirondacks.
 
Putney Ride, 125 miles. If you want an easygoing, shorter ride with a great lunch destination, this one’s for you.
