Travel Gravel Berkshires (08/22/2026)

Sat, 22 Aug 2026 13:30:00 GMT

Description: Southern Berkshires ... B/B+ destination "travel gravel" ride.

Date/Day/Time: August 22nd - Saturday - 9:30am

Who is this For?: Two ride distances with the longer sporting more unpaved surfaces and challenging terrain. The 42 mile ride is primarily Cat1 where those on the 50 mile ride should expect Cat1/2/3. The seasoned B/B+ gravel explorer should feel challenged but comfortable!

With good reason, folks say, "it is pretty hard to go wrong with Berkshire's gravel!" These routes sport high percentage of gravel and dirt, and low-traffic counts. There are special views at every turn on rides that both challenge and reward! Travel time is about 100 minutes from Ridgefield and be aware there is limited cell phone coverage or services (food, water, repair) in the area. Be sure to download the route before leaving home, and be sure you are equipped for self-reliance (water, tools, tubes). There are no Ubers or Lyfts to bail you out!

Please arrive 15 minutes before and have the route downloaded. Expect about 4-1/2 hours of moving time. Break at the Monterey Roadside Cafe (mile 22 and 28 ... depending on route) .. with clean bathrooms, coffee, pastries/cookies great seating and water. Each cyclist is on their own for any incurred expenses at the stop. We have designed routes so both groups should arrive at Cafe at about the same time.

Start Location: York Lake trail head ... please arrive 15 minutes early. Limited (none) cell-phone coverage in area and for twenty minutes in advance of arrival driving up Rt183.

Pace: B/B+ pace (HPG11-12) .. expect about 11 to12 mph average depending on route

Route: York Lake 42

Route: York Lake 50

Volunteer Signup: Thirsty Thursday Grand Finale (08/27/2026)

Thu, 27 Aug 2026 21:15:00 GMT

Summer will end soon, and the club will celebrate another year of fellowship with our Thirsty Thursday Grand Finale at Lounsbury House from 7:00 to 8:30 pm on Thursday, August 27. The party features a catered dinner by long-time RBSC sponsors À Table and Ancona's Wines & Liquors.

Since we had to rent a facility for the event this year, costs will go up substantially, but we are keeping your fee increases modest (from $20 to $22 as long as you sign up at least 3 days beforehand).

However, to manage this, we are scaling back on paid help. We need you to volunteer for pre-event setup (5:15-6:30 pm), during event (6:30-8:00) and post-event breakdown (8:30-9:30). Register as you would for a normal ride, and tasks are included in the ticket types. Participants who are just attending the party can sign up for the first two categories, while those who intend to ride can help post-event. Please step up to demonstrate again that the people are the club's greatest asset!

Alice's Restaurant - Thanksgiving Ride (11/28/2026)

Sat, 28 Nov 2026 15:00:00 GMT

Description: Alice's Restaurant ... B/B+ Destination Ride

Date/Day/Time: November 28th - Saturday - 10am

Who is this For?: Fun, historical ride at B pace. Longer (metric distance) require fitness and ability to ride cool conditions!

The Alice's Restaurant Bicycle Ride is held every year on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. The 2026 ride will be on Saturday November 28th. We start in Salisbury, CT and go up to Stockbridge, MA. The ride is 67 miles with 3300 ft of ascent in 5 climbs. The route passes farms, goes along streams and through villages in the Berkshires and of course passes the famous Alice's Restaurant Garbage Trail sites. The two shorter rides both start from the Guthrie Center (the church where Alice lived) and follow parts of the long route. All routes go past the site of Alice's restaurant, the Scene of the Crime, the police officer's station, the site of the dump and the church where Alice lived. Roger will lead the longer (68 mile) ride.

Parking:

68 & 60 Mile Routes: Salisbury LaBonne's Market (22 Academy Street, Salisbury, CT 06068). Please patronize the store and please park in the field across from the parking lot; not in the parking lot.

Details:

Ride Leader: Roger Snow 203.297.0528

Rain Date:

In the event of bad weather on Saturday the ride will be rescheduled to Sunday, November 29th. Any changes will be posted on the website link above by 5 pm on Friday November 27th and on the RBC website. Contact Roger Snow at 203 297 0528 if you have questions.

Ride Requirements:

Bring sufficient water and nutrition for mileage.
Bring spare tubes, inflation, cell phone and tools.
Riders responsible for their own lunch

Notes:

The ride usually finishes around sunset so all riders should have a flashing rear light and a small front light will be helpful as well.

There are generally groups riding at various levels ranging from about 14 to 17+ mph. I will ride with a B group at 15-16 mph. There will be a faster group. There are several options to shorten the route since it makes a big loop around Great Barrington, so you can cut back to Great Barrington then head south on Route 41 to Salisbury.

All routes converge before Stockbridge, but all groups will meet in Stockbridge between 12:30 & 1pm. Many riders stop for lunch at the Elm Street Market • 4 Elm Street . The library at the corner of Elm & Main is next door and has restrooms available.
