The 2021 ride raised over $1500. Thank you to all the riders,

We've
created many loops starting in Stow, so everyone can find a ride that
suits their ability. The shorter rides are fairly flat and are great
for families with kids. The longer courses are more challenging, going
over hills in Harvard and more by many local conservation areas. All
loops start by heading west on Rt. 117, then a right on Crescent St.
The 5-mile loop is flat and kid-friendly, going on South Acton
Road which has a wide shoulder, and back down Red Acre Road.

The 14-mile route heads up a sharp hill on Taylor Road then into
Harvard. Not for children under 10. RideWithGPS
The 37-mile route loops north with challenging hills in Stow and
Harvard. Not recommended for kids under 12 as it is hilly and
requires requires multiple gears. Ride through Stow, Harvard,
Littleton, and Acton. You can cut off 10 miles by taking a
right at the Lemonade Stand on Foster Street, mile at mile 13.

Our metric century (64 miles) starts with the hilly 37-mile
