The Mass BikePike Tour

Since 2007, the Mass BikePike Tour has been celebrating cycling in Massachusetts while raising money for bicycling advocacy, education and awareness.  Over the years, we have distinguished ourselves by creating two beautiful, well-marked routes each day.  We offer the right challenge for everyone from riders looking for their first tour experience to seasoned tour riders to those who want to spend 4 days riding as hard as and fast as possible.  No matter what kind or rider you are, you get to experience our unforgettable New England touring sites and scenery along the way.

The diversity of our riders lends itself to lots of off-the-bike camaraderie.  Couple this with our cheerful volunteer staff and you will see why we are called “The Friendliest Ride in the East.” SlossFamiily

For 2013, the Mass BikePike Tour starts and ends in Fitchburg, MA.  Fitchburg, an important city in the north central part of the state and is host to the Longjo Classic; one of the longest running stage races in the country, home of Fitchburg State University and the Fitchburg Art Museum; described by many as “A hidden gem.”  Other highlights of this year’s tour include Jaffrey, NH, Keene, NH, Brattleboro VT and Greenfield, MA.  And on the final day, those looking for a real challenge will have the option of climbing Mt. Wachusett.
