The ride starts out on flat terrain for a good warm-up and then has some nice hills for getting those legs warm (total of 600 feet of ascent). We will be riding through semi-rural farmland as we traverse Deerfield, where you will enjoy endless fields, a few cows, and lots of barns. Then it's on to Hatfield and Whately for more of the same. We head back toward South Deerfield where we return to our starting point. We will keep the group together riding at a moderate 13-14 mph average regrouping/stopping for a snack along the way.”<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>Registration link: <a href="https://activities.outdoors.org/search/index.cfm/action/details/id/152412">https://activities.outdoors.org/search/index.cfm/action/details/id/152412</a><o:p></o:p></li></ul><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Cheers,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>/Brant<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-ligatures:none'>--<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-ligatures:none'>Brant Cheikes<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-ligatures:none'>Co-Chair, AMC Western MA Chapter Bicycling Committee<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-ligatures:none'><a href="mailto:bicycling@amc-wma.org"><span style='color:blue'>bicycling@amc-wma.org</span></a> ; <a href="https://www.amc-wma.org/index.cgi"><span style='color:blue'>amc-wma.org</span></a></span><span style='mso-ligatures:none'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
