Copake, New York · Saturday, September 19, 2026
The Roe Jan Ramble Bike Tour is a cycling event held on Saturday, September 19, 2026. It is located at 305 Mountain View Rd in Copake, New York.
The 23rd Annual Tour of the Litchfield Hills is on for Sunday, August 2nd.
As many of you know, the Tour is a charity ride to benefit The Cancer Care Fund of the Litchfield Hills Inc. Over the past twenty-two years, the Tour has raised well over $1,600,000 to help cancer victims and their families deal with the ravages of cancer.
The Tour will be fully supported with SAG wagons and rest stops. All of the roads are paved. The Tour routes will take you on scenic, lightly travelled rural roads and through historic villages. There will be our traditional free picnic held at the end of the ride. The first 700 people who register receive a free t-shirt. The Tour is held rain or shine!
Some important things to note are:
The registration fee is $50 if you register online by July 15th. Starting July 16th, the registration fee goes up to $55.
If you raise $1,500 or more in donations, you will receive a free Tour bike jersey.
Because the Tour is the primary fund-raising event for the Cancer Care Fund of the Litchfield Hills, all registrations are non-refundable.
Before you start your ride or walk you must check in at the registration desks at Coe Park - even if you have pre-registered.
We encourage you to form teams. Check our website for details.
We encourage you to collect additional donations from friends, family, biking buddies, random strangers, etc. You can make additional donations on this site or go to www.Pledgereg.com.
Tour bike jerseys will be able for sale at the Tour. Cash, checks and credit cards will be accepted.
Check out our webpage - www.tourofthelitchfieldhills.com - for routes, elevations, photos and other information on the Tour. In planning which route to ride, please note that sag support and rest stops will end at 4 pm.
Stay safe! Bike a lot! And we will see you on Sunday August 2nd at Coe Park in Torrington!
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!
