I work with a fundraising tour for Massbike called Cycle Massachusetts (formerly known as the Mass BikePike Tour). It’s the Friendliest Ride in the East and this is our 10th year of sharing the best of Massachusetts, by bike! This year we’re really working on club outreach – we have recently had a number of clubs plan a group vacation to our tour, and it’s been a win-win experience. So in 2016, we’ll be offering a group discount for 6 or more people registering together. I hope you can share this fun and flexible bike vacation opportunity with your club! I see you are the newsletter editor and we’d love to be included!
I’ve included a general announcement, a facebook post, and a tweet for your convenience. Thanks in advance for anything you can pass along to your club, and please let me know if there’s an event of yours that I can share with our network. We get a lot of support from bike clubs and we really appreciate it – hope you can help us too!
Best regards,
Karin T

We’re proud to be the Friendliest Ride in the East (we used to be the Mass BikePike Tour), and we’re delighted to welcome cyclists for a weekend or a whole week depending on their schedules. We have some great new features in 2016:
- Cycle Club Discount – 6 or more riders registering from your club will receive a discounted entry fee: contact Bruce for more details
- One ride – four states! Not only do we explore Massachusetts, but we’ll ride the quiet roads of Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New York as well.
- Family riding weekend! Our opening weekend is especially family-friendly, complete with shorter rides to kid-approved destinations, an ice cream social, and an all-ages outdoor movie!
- Back to the Berkshires! We’ll explore the quiet roads of this legendary region. We even have an “Alice’s Restaurant” ride to celebrate the scenes of this famous song.
We’re excited to welcome riders to our fantastic start/finish location at Nichols College in Dudley, Massachusetts. With two nights on their lovely campus, two nights in the cultural mecca of Great Barrington, and a night each in Agawam and Suffield, CT, you’ll have time to explore the most scenic vistas, visit local landmarks, and savor each experience with new friends.
Cycle Massachusetts is from July 30th through August 5th (2, 4, 5, and 7 day options available) and all proceeds support the Massachusetts Bicycle Coalition. Sign up today: The registration deadline is July 15th, and Cycle Massachusetts is limited to 150 riders! ***
