About the ride

This recreational, 30-mile, no-drop ride winds through all 17 neighborhoods of Springfield. We will take breaks at 17 miles (Good Tunes Bike Shop in the Breckwood Plaza) and mile 28 (Rad Bike on Bridge St) to regroup before our grand finish.

The ride starts and ends on the river/walk bike

path at the PVCR Boat House. After a brief warmup on the bike path, The route heads up the hill by Bay State. It then winds through Springfield's eastern neighborhoods, featuring 3 city parks: Van Horn, Blunt, and Forest. Here the route is relatively flat before dropping down and around Watershop Pond and then into the Southend, and downtown before hopping back onto the bike path.
