What comes down must go up!
Climb to the Clouds will test your biking abilities with lots of climbing including Mt. Wachusett for the 100-mile Imperial Century distance.
This year we offer TWO Metric Century route options: one that bypasses Mt. Wawa with a beautiful loop around the Wachusett reservoir (but still challenges you with "Mt Woobly" in Hudson, Long Hill in Bolton, Sawyer Hill in Berlin and Harvard Rd in Bolton); AND an alternative 68-mile out-and-back route that includes the fabled Wawa summit climb!
Metric or Imperial, everyone who completes the ride gets the new CRW Climb To The Clouds medallion to add to their century collection.
We will have full-service stops available at Drexler Drumlin Reservation, 192 George Hill Road Lancaster MA, at Berlin Orchards 310 Sawyer Hill Road Berlin MA 01503, and Mt. Wachusett Visitor Entrance. All rest stops will have porta johns.
Come prepared! We recommend that you bring a rain shell to deal with any precipitation which may happen on your ride, and the cooler descent!
