Bike for the Woods!

Come join the fun!

Sunday, August 9, 2026 the Stow Conservation Trust will run its annual Bike for the Woods charity bike ride event!

There are rides for all ages and ability levels and all are scenic and arrowed! Rides range from 5 (particularly good for families with small children) and 14 miles to 25 and 37 miles, which are a little hillier and more appropriate for experienced, adult riders. 

Want a challenge? There’s a fun, hilly “metric century” of 64 miles! All routes have GPS files available through our website, bikeforthewoods.org, that you can download to your phone or bike computer, and all except the southern half of the 64 mile route is “arrowed”.

All rides pass by conservation land in Stow and surrounding towns and avoid busy streets. The longer routes (25 and up) pass through Stow, Harvard, Littleton, and Acton, and the 64 mile route adds mileage in Hudson, Bolton and Marlborough. Refreshments are provided at a water stop that you will pass at mile 13 and again (on the 37 and 64) at mile 24.

Register now at bikeforthewoods.org!

Advance registration is $25 per adult/$15 per child 12 and under ($55 maximum for a family), day of event registration is $30 per adult/$20 per child ($60 maximum for a family). All proceeds benefit the Stow Conservation Trust and help protect land in Stow! 

So enjoy a great bike ride, bring the whole family, and benefit a great cause!
