Ride Description

Join the Women’s/Nonbinary Program Committee for a beautiful, scenic, social Halloween-themed ride starting in Northborough at the amazing Aero Coffee Roasters. Halloween garb is encouraged, but not required! Wind your way through some of the most beautiful roads in Berlin, Bolton, and surrounding towns. This no-drop ride takes us on the most exquisite quiet, rolling country roads during this perfect time of year.

Both the short and long route offer tricks and treats aplenty. You'll be treated to bucolic, tree-lined rural roads with very little traffic, a particular delight when dressed in Fall colors. The 34-mile route (13-14 and 15-16 mph groups) is more hilly and includes several significant climbs, including the always-popular Green Street hill. The 19-mile route (13-14 mph), while also hilly, avoids Green Street, but still includes some tricky uphills nonetheless. Never fear, you'll be treated to some beautiful views and some great downhill sections as your reward!

Free treats for all registered riders! There is a restroom at the start. A special prize will be awarded for best Halloween kit! :-)

Wednesday Wheelers (2026-11-04)

Wed, 04 Nov 2026 15:00:00 GMT

CRW Ride Participation

CRW rides are open to members and guests. Guests may participate in up to two rides per year before joining the club.

Please click the Register button to sign up for this ride.

Helmets are required on all CRW rides. Riders are expected to follow the CRW Code of Conduct and be familiar with:

Ride Description:

A group that enjoys exploring a variety of scenic routes, mostly in the western suburbs, but also to the north or south. Occasionally we do an urban exploration. We always include a lunch stop, either during or at the end of the ride. In the winter we may substitute other activities, such as walking, hiking or cross-country skiing. We stay together, following the leader for the day, while being careful not to drop anyone. On a rural ride of average hilliness, the pace is 15 to 17 mph on the flats, but slows considerably on the hills, so we wind up with a rolling average of about 13 mph. In fairness to the group, we require that prospective riders be capable of maintaining this pace. Distances are typically between 30 and 40 miles.

Non-members of CRW are welcome to ride with us and experience what the Wednesday Wheelers offer. If you like our rides, however, and wish to continue to ride with us, we expect you to become a CRW member.

If interested, contact Wednesday Wheeler Ride Coordinator

Ride Description:

Burn some calories before Turkey Day with this gravel-focused ride. Due to logistics and the presence of pedestrians on some of the trails, this holiday week ride is limited to 10 participants, with the intent to stay together as a group.

The route consists of three "legs" emanating from Concord center: 1) Out and back on the Battle Road Trail in Minuteman National Park in Lincoln; 2) Out and back on the Reformatory Branch Trail and the Narrow Gauge Rail Trail in Bedford; 3) A loop through Estabrook Woods in Concord.

About three-quarters of the route is on unpaved surfaces (gravel or dirt trails). The route is suitable for beginner and intermediate gravel riders, with the only challenging section in Estabrook Woods. Due to the surfaces, expect the pace to be slower than a typical CRW road ride. Minimum recommended tire width is 32mm (ride is not suitable for skinny road bike tires).

There is no planned lunch stop, but food options are available in Concord center after the ride.

In the event of rain or wet surface, this ride will be cancelled or postponed.

Ride Start Location:

Public parking lot (free!) on Keyes Rd., Concord, just off Main Street. Please park in the west side of the lot (on the left if you're coming from Main St.) Public restrooms are in the starting lot (as well as at miles 11 and 24 in the Great Meadows Wildlife Refuge).
