Enjoy a 29-mile ride at a moderate pace (12-13 mph average) across all four of the Pioneer Valley Hamptons. Soon after we get started, you'll experience some enjoyable long and steady climbs with complementary descents. However, most of this ride is on rolling terrain on quiet roads surrounded by farms and thick woods.

Join us for a challenging 31-mile cycling tour on quiet country roads in the southwest corner of the Berkshires. The scenery is spectacular and well worth the sweat. From our starting point in Lee, MA, we'll ride through the breathtakingly beautiful Tyringham valley. When we reach the end of the valley, we'll be glad we're warmed up as we tackle a demanding one mile climb up to the plateau. We'll head west through Monterey and cross into Great Barrington, turning north to cycle through the scenic Monument Valley to Stockbridge. A few short but stiff climbs still await us as we finish the last few miles of our route and return to our start point in Lee. In total we will climb approximately 2,000 feet over the course of the ride.

3.	Great Barrington to Mill River Bike Ride

Location: Barrington, MA
Date: 09‑Aug‑2025
