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.<o:p></o:p></span></p><ol style='margin-top:0in' start=3 type=1><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0in;mso-list:l3 level1 lfo3'><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Great Barrington to Mill River Bike Ride<o:p></o:p></span></li></ol><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Location: Barrington, MA<br><b>Date: 09‑Aug‑2025<br></b><a href="https://activities.outdoors.org/s/oc-activity/a5UUN000001I7bx2AC/act00014335">Register »</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>If you've never experienced the Berkshires on a bicycle, it's about time you did!
