If you seek more Adventure in your life, please read on!
We are entering our third year of the Adventure program, and it continues to gain momentum year-over-year as more people get a bit out of their comfort zone of riding the same routes in the same areas looking at the same potholes
The Adventure Program will get you on unfamiliar routes packed with Adventure that rival what you would get from the big boys…yeap, I am talking Trek Travel or Backroads! These are multiple day rides that are led by CRW leaders in areas you most likely have never ridden.
And, the best part is they are free to register and you only pay for your own expenses.
Our experienced leaders will be giving you an opportunity to road ride, gravel ride or multi-track ride all throughout New England…and more. Last year we saw Adventures not only in New England, but also New York, North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Parkway and Canada.
The riding types tend to tip the scales towards credit card “glamping”, but we also host a few bike packing trips completely self-sufficient for your chance to sleep under the stars!
As these trips become available, they will be on the Rides Calendar showing up as dark green, or you can use your mobile app and search using the word “Adventure”. Please note, these trips fill up fast and you should register if the ride description sounds pleasing to you.
We are hopeful many of you will step up this season and lead an Adventure of your choice. There is nothing more gratifying than making some great biking memories possible for other CRW members.
Here is a video link to a presentation given to members on April 6th, which may answer addition questions. Adventure Zoom Kick-Off
