Hi Crankin,
Thanks for your comment! I have read your account of your experience a few years ago, as has our ride director. Your feedback was appreciated and responded to - I think you'd be pleased with our response!

The ride is definitely a labor of love - every bit of proceeds goes straight to MassBike, and the director volunteers his time - so there were definitely hiccups at the beginning. Feedback has been increasingly positive every year.

This year's route is going to be so gorgeous...all that amazing and challenging Berkshires scenery, and all the flexibility - in ride length, in having the "comfy campers" available, in having plenty of leeway for tourism/ice cream stops...I hope you'll join us!
