Fifty Barns 300k & Royal Athols 200k this Sat (May 9th)

[Jake Kassen]

Hey NERds. Just a reminder we have a 300k & 200k (mostly separate routes) this coming Saturday. Registration closes @ 3pm on Friday. We've used both of these before but not for a few years. I really like both these routes. They are challenging but interesting and fun. Routes are mostly small back roads but you do cut through Amherst and a few other small towns.

The routes themselves are basically unchanged from previous usage but I did update the cues with notes from the various pre-rides. There's one short detour on the 200k just before Williamstown Rd in Hubardston. (Thankfully, you get an extra climb.)

Note: The "password" on the registration link refers to 2024 but it is still valid. It's a way of verifying that riders are current RUSA members, a requirement of our rides.

Let me know if you have any questions.
