- 9:30ASport/123938.838.80Greylock Looney RideGary Dormandy
Cambridge Valley Cycling plans to do the Greylock route that we affectionately call the Looney Ride and we would love to have some MHCC members join the fun. This will be a no drop ride, but we will get spread out on the long climb up the south side. There will be some stopping on the climb, and faster riders may go on ahead. But, we will regroup at the top for a group photo op. The other CVC tradition after a Greylock ride is to stop at the Water St. Grill - a very short drive from the parking lot.
Lots of free parking at the start and there is a coffee shop & public bathrooms available.
Please let me know if you have any questions. We have six CVC riders interested at this point.
Looking forward to seeing some of you. Weather is looking good.
