    CLICK HERE TO SEE GPS ROUTES FOR RIDES

    A scenic bike tour through the towns of Hatfield, Deerfield, Williamsburg, Conway, Ashfield, and Shelburne.

    All proceeds will go towards supporting eye

    research.

    The Hatfield Lions Club invites you to the 17th edition of the Hatfield Lions Club Bike Tour.

    There will be three ride options (25 miles, 35 miles, and 50 miles) starting and ending at the Lions Club Pavilion (15 Billings Way, Hatfield, MA 01038).

    We suggest starting between 8 AM and 9 AM.

    The entry fee is $40 per rider. Riders may register in advance through BikeReg, and day of registration ($45, cash only) will also be available at the event. Pre-registered riders will receive a complementary t-shirt.

    This event helps the Hatfield Lions club support eye research, our organization's traditional cause.

    After the ride, we will host a pasta lunch. It goes without saying that there will be baked potatoes at a Hatfield event.

    We are using our traditional routes again this year:

    • The 25 mile route is very flat (less than 800 feet of climbing) and goes through Whatley, Deerfield, and Hatfield. This is a great ride for families.

    • The 35 mile route doubles the climbing of the 25 mile route and adds Conway to the mix. Both the 25 and 35 mile routes have a rest stop in Deerfield, in the shade at the base of the Stillwater Bridge.

    • The 50 mile route is really 56 miles with over 3,600 feet of climbing. This is a scenic ride that travels up to the picturesque Bardwell's Ferry Bridge connecting Conway and Shelburne Falls. This will be the first rest stop of the day. From there, the adventure continues and meets up with the other routes at the Stillwater Bridge rest stop.

    We hope you will join us for a fun day.

    About the Grand Fundo

    In the cycling world, a gran fondo is a massive group ride/race, that can attract riders numbering in the thousands, encompassing all ages and ability levels. The Grand Fundo removes all the racing aspects from the ride but keeps all the all the fun. The route will take about four hours for most riders. The route is mostly dirt roads. We will have fully stocked rest stops where you can refuel and hydrate. There will be support riders and follow cars but they cannot access the trails and so please bring proper tools to fix a flat. Immediately after the ride, we hope you’ll stay and hang out with us for music and a delicious post-ride cookout, our prize drawing and more!

    About the Mini Fundo

    The Mini Fundo features the same challenging beginnings of the Grand Fundo but will get you back home more quickly. If you are looking for 2.5 to 3.5 hours of riding but aren’t sure you can survive the full Fundo, then the 29-mile Mini Fundo is for you. Once you return, snacks will be available until our barbecue. The Mini Fundo is by no means a walk in the park. Over the course of 29 miles, the Mini Fundo will climb over 2400 feet and ride through technical sectors of double track.

    About the Adventure Route

    This route is 75-80 miles, which means about five or six hours and includes more remote technical roads. 40+c tires are a must, and a 1:1 gear ratio will make the climbs much more enjoyable. This is a challenging route, but is well worth the effort.

    About the youth ride

    10 miles out and back, leaving at 9 as well. We provide two ride chaperones.

    About the JAM Fund

    JAM is a registered 501c-3 organization founded by Jeremy Powers, Alec Donahue and Mukunda Feldman, good friends brought together through their passion for cycling. JAM's mission is to help motivated young cyclists reach their potential both on and off the bike, while not being limited by finances. This is reached through close mentoring and involvement in the cycling community. The JAM Fund is proud to award grants to young cyclists in and around Massachusetts who show enthusiasm, determination and desire to be their best. It's also our goal to showcase some of the amazing cycling that the Pioneer Valley offers! Every dollar raised through the Fundo goes directly to the JAM fund. We look forward to seeing everyone there!

    Helmets are mandatory!
