The Farmer's Daughter Gravel Grinder is a cycling and gravel event held on Sunday, May 16, 2027. It is located at 182 Hudson Place in Chatham, New York.
START / FINISH LOCATION:
Shire Breu-Hous
63 Flansburg Ave
Dalton, MA 01226
The Mount Greylock Century presented by Berkshire Velo 413 features some of the most challenging climbs in western Massachusetts. Riders will be treated to quiet backcountry roads and some of the nicest views in the county. While the north side of Greylock and Kingsley Hill Rd have gained some notoriety, don't discount some of the lesser known climbs such as Monroe Hill, Windsor and East Hoosac. We recommend compact gearing as riders will encounter mid-teens and higher percent grades several times over the course of 12,000 feet of climbing. We believe the route ranks right up there amongst the most challenging centuries in the Northeast.
Event details: Parking and registration are located at the Stationery Factory in Dalton Massachusetts. The Century riders will have a group start at 7:30 AM and Metric Century will start at their own-will at 9:30 AM. We recommend riders budget an additional two hours over their normal century pace. There will be five aid stations located along the route. The ride will be supported until ~4:30 PM.
Post ride: The Shire Tavern will be opening the kitchen for us at 3:30 offering a full menu. Beers will be complimentary using fare tickets. A nice way to recover a bit before that drive home!
Century and Metric Century Routes
Last minute updates will be posted on our Facebook Page http://www.facebook.com/BerkshireVelo/
The will be held, rain or shine!
Warning: This is a difficult ride. Slower riders should opt for the Metric Century. You will be abandoned if you are out on the road past 5pm. Its not fair to volunteers who will be committing 12 hours of their time to support the ride only to have super slow riders still out on the road until dark.
Hoopla 2026 dates just announced!
Join us for a weekend of bringing folks together to enjoy cycling, camping, outdoor adventure and fun! Make new friends, ride awesome trails and try out new bikes. We have planned a family friendly event and are ready to inspire new riders as well as to challenge trail and road warriors alike. Enjoy guided rides for all levels in the beauty of the Berkshire Hills: road ride, single track, gravel, kids, enduro, double track and family friendly trails. Bonfires, food trucks, live music, BBQ and maybe even a disco tent! This is not a mountain bike specific event, it’s open to all disciplines of cycling whether you are on a road, gravel, kids, fat or mountain bike. Just c’mon out and play!
Camping and event activities are located at Ponderosa Pines Campground at 50 Potter Mountain Rd, in Lanesborough. It is best accessed from the east or south(Pecks Rd, Bull Hill Rd or Churchill St and beware of your GPS advising you to come in from NY to the west via Potter Mtn Rd, you won’t make it over! The campground is nestled in-between Balance Rock State Park and Pittsfield State Forest(https://www.mass.gov/locations/pittsfield-state-forest), the 3rd and 4th largest public lands in the state of Massachusetts. Being on a dirt road it is the perfect location to start a gravel ride, with direct access to single track out the back of the campground is doesn’t get much better for the mountain bikers and the Mount Greylock Visitor Center(https://www.mass.gov/locations/mount-greylock-state-reservation) on Rockwell Rd is a short 7 miles away so you won’t use up to much energy before pedaling to the highest point in Massachusetts on your road bike! We will have a kids loop that stays close to
the event site, but even young teenagers will find that the access to the single track is quite manageable.
Our goal is to create a safe and fun environment to gather like minded people. With your participation, Hoopla is able to support other local cycling events, maintain and improve existing trails, purchase equipment for trail builders and donate to fitness/sporting organizations that need a little help.
Hope to see you there!
