Save Sunday, August 30th to gather with fellow CRW members for our 60th Anniversary rides and party at the Metrowest YMCA Outdoor Center in Hopkinton, MA.  This full-day, rain or shine event offers something for every type of rider, and celebrates that at 60 years young, CRW isn’t over the hill but picking up speed!

In the morning, club members can choose from 3 ride length options, and choose self-paced or leader-led speed groups.  Start times will be staggered for all distances.  

All 3 routes are designed with a comfortable 45 ft of climbing per mile, so it’s easy to enjoy swapping stories about past exploits and collaborating on future plans:
    • A 21 mile loop southeast to Millis (954 ft vertical)
    • A 38 mile trek that continues to Norfolk & Walpole (1,734 ft vertical)
    • A 63 mile metric century to the northeast corner of Rhode Island (2,869 ft vertical)

Please note that on all 3 routes riders are responsible for their own navigation, safety, refreshments, and mechanical support.

After returning to Hopkinton, riders can relax and refuel in a tented pavilion with a delicious catered lunch featuring:
    • traditional, vegan, and gluten free selections
    • family and adult beverages
    • and, of course, desserts! 
    • pickle juice is not on the menu…

In the afternoon the fun continues with 3 special activities:
    • Share your CRW photos, videos, club jerseys, and other memorabilia with everyone at the “So Many Memories” tables
    • Show off your favorite, trusty two-wheeled steed from the 1960s, 70s, or 80s at the “Classic Bikes Corral” (no carbon-fiber please).  Prizes may be awarded in the following categories:
        ◦ Most Fashionable Paint
        ◦ Unique Water Bottle setups
        ◦ Memorable Friction Shifter systems
    • Find FREE bargains and clean out your basement, shed or garage at the 5th Annual Swap Meet.  Bikes, parts, accessories, clothing, tools, and racks are all welcomed!  Any items that are unclaimed at the end of the day will be donated to The Bike Connector in Lowell, a nonprofit that gets bike to people who need them

All for the low price of $15. Former (and current) CRW presidents attend for free!!
