  1. In case you were wondering, no materials will be mailed prior to the event. You will be given your ride package when you check in on August 8th or 9th.
  2. Our 2010 routes are now posted on the web site at http://www.massbikepike.org/theRide.html. There is a button for cue sheets and changing from km to miles.
    All of the routes will have hills. The better prepared you are, the more fun it will be.
    We continue to tweak the routes, so some changes may occur. When you arrive at the tour start, you will be given a package with maps and routes, so there is no need to print out any of the online materials.
  3. Our overnights stops will be as follows.
    August 6 - Quaboag Middle High School in Warren, MA
    August 7th - Anna Maria College in Paxton, MA
