Ride Description:
An annual tradition. It's a great ride with hundreds of cyclists on the road Sunday night/early Monday morning. Make sure you have lots of lights that will last for several hours.
The MBTA has become hostile to bikes on the trains so the original premise of the ride has ended. Originally, You would jump on the late night train at South Station and hop off in Southborough near the start line.
With no train option, you'll have to figure out a ride to Hopkinton or ride round trip.
