Love ice cream? So do we!

(When you start and finish in Northampton, there's multiple chances to enjoy Herrell's, a pioneer of ice cream if there ever was one!)

After 8 years of guiding hundreds of bicyclists through the best of the Bay State, the Mass BikePike Tour is now Cycle Massachusetts!

The name may have changed, but we’re still proud to be the Friendliest Ride in the East. For today’s busy cyclist, we’re all about the options:

• Choose to join us for a weekend, 4 days, 5 days, or a whole week!

• Choose a special challenge ride (Berkshire foothills century, epic Quabbin Reservoir tour) or enjoy the convenience of our Head Start Drop-off Service – all levels of cyclists are applauded! (We also approach a close-to-even male/female ratio so there's no raging macho-rider problem!)

• Choose ice cream on the road, or smores at our nightly campfire (or both!)

We’ve identified three picturesque and unique Massachusetts destinations: colorful Northampton, quaint Hardwick (at the unbelievable Eagle Hill School), and the exquisite Stoneleigh-Burnham School in Greenfield. With two nights at each, you’ll have time to explore the most scenic vistas, visit local landmarks, and savor each experience with new friends.

Cycle Massachusetts is from August 1 through 7, 2015 (2, 4, 5, and 7 day options available) and all proceeds support the Massachusetts Bicycle Coalition. Sign up today: the tour is limited to 150 riders!

Hi all! Just a thread bump to say there's still room in the Cycle Massachusetts tour and we're really having a blast planning it! Our overnight spots are really above and beyond in terms of scenery, food options, and facilities - and the riding routes are looking great! I hope you can join us!
