Dirt/gravel to Charlemont Sunday

[Pamela Blalock]

Forecast is for mild sunny conditions on Sunday, the longest day of the year. If you have a pass for Father's Day, join us for a dirt/gravel ride from Conway out to Charlemont starting at 9AM.

I rode the route Friday, and it was amazing. For those who did Massochistah in less than stellar weather, this ride takes in many of those roads, but in the opposite direction. I rode up Middle Road Friday. It still has a few chunky sections on it, but is in better condition than I expected. 

There are three options listed, one of which includes MIddle. So if you are the type who thinks my dirt road rides are too tame, come out and climb up Middle! OTOH, if you like champagne gravel, the other options  have lots of hardpack dirt (caveat being East Rd descent is a little bumpy). Finally, if you've had enough climbing when you get to Hawley, there is a shorter way back that cuts out some climbing and even passes a couple of cafes.
