Major Taylor Century & George Street Challenge
A spirited, history‑rich 105‑mile out‑and‑back from Winchester to Worcester. Timing is tight—riders MUST be able to hold a steady 15–17 mph moving speed and have a GPS device with the route loaded. If you are not comfortable at that pace please choose another CRW ride; we will not slow the group or provide cue sheets.
MBTA bail‑out option: Worcester Line trains accept bikes on weekends—handy if fatigue or mechanical issues strike. Carry fare and check the schedule before riding.
