Online registration closes at 9 p.m. Sept. 30. Fees go up another $10 for day-of-ride registration.
Bicycle around the Quabbin Reservoir, a pristine jewel in the heart of Massachusetts. Choose from two road routes (64 or 101 miles) or two gravel routes (approximately 44 or 77 miles, each approximately half paved). Not much traffic; plenty of hills.
Start/finish for all routes is at Hardwick Winery, 3305 Greenwich Road, Hardwick, MA 01082. Check-in opens at 6:45 a.m. Start times are flexible, but we recommend century riders and gravel riders start 7:00-8:00 a.m., and road metric riders start 8:00-9:00 a.m. All routes except the Road Metric will stop at Petersham Common.
Routes will not be arrowed. Routes will be scouted prior to the event for road/trail conditions and may be modified accordingly. Final Ride with GPS links will be emailed to online registrants the week before the ride.
Road metric (64 miles, approx. 5000 feet of climbing)
https://ridewithgps.com/routes/48772978

https://ridewithgps.com/routes/54352606
Rest stop at mile 29 (Petersham Common, 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.)
The gravel routes avoid DCR trails. On the Little Gravel route, there's an option at mile 40 to do an easy finish (remainder of route is mostly paved, and the route totals 43 miles) or a hard finish (remainder of route is unpaved, with nearly 300 feet more climbing, and the route totals 45 miles).
Not sure which route is for you? Not to worry -- you can change your selection online at any time before registration closes. You can even wait until ride day and decide in the middle of the ride. Both road routes are the same until the Quabbin Visitor Center, at mile 18. Both gravel routes go to the Petersham rest stop at mile 28. So whether you're on the road or the gravel, you can decide partway how to continue.
Limited to 150 riders.
Refreshments afterwards at Hardwick Winery, with a food truck for the afternoon.

The course consists of a 1.55 mile loop that you will complete two times.
There will be...

Great River Ride 2026
A Fundraiser for the Friends of the Columbia Greenway Rail Trail Inc.
Post Ride Entertainment and Buffet at the finish
2026 marks the 39th Anniversary of the Great River Ride. Over the years the GRR has been recognized by the League of American Bicyclists (LAB) and Bicycling Magazine as one of the top century rides in America. A variety of routes are offered to match the skill levels of all participants. Event proceeds will benefit the programs of the Friends of the Columbia Greenway Rail Trail (FOCGRT), a 501 3c nonprofit organization.
Staffed refreshment stops along the ride as well as a post-ride buffet with live entertainment from 2:00 PM to 5:30 PM.
You will encounter knee-popping hills, breathtaking views, awesome descents, and gorgeous fall foliage as you tour the hilltowns of the Eastern Berkshires. Add in miles of stone walls, waterfalls, plenty of New England white churches, loads of colonial homes, historic keystone arches, a wild and scenic river, and did I mention hills. But thats not all, we've got rest stops staffed with friendly cyclists and snacks, including our famous "Baked Potato" stop.
The Westfield River, the Great River in the river ride, is a federally designated Wild and Scenic River. The GRR wanders the course of this scenic river to give you a unique cycling experience. For 2026 we're using most of the original route, thanks to Mass Highways repaving projects.
The GRR Gravel Route is a mix of pavement, gravel, dirt and seasonal roads that we’ve enjoyed fall riding on for over 50 years. The 72 mile route is 40% unpaved.. The route will take you through the remote Knightville Basin and Chesterfield Gorge with stunning vistas along the East Branch of the Westfield River. You’ll pass through the Knightville Meadows, the Rainbow Pool, the Little Gorge and the Chesterfield Gorge on your ride. Most climbs are paved but Thayer Rd. is a moderately difficult climb of 1.4 miles on dirt ranging from 10% to 7%. A long descent to River Rd. follows a seasonal road with some steep downgrades. At River Rd. you will have a choice of the final gravel climb up Maynard Rd. or the bailout paved climb up East River Hill to the Spud stop at the Chester Hill Church. Gravel/Dirt sections will not be monitored by SAG vehicles and Cell Phone coverage is limited. Be prepared to handle mechanical problems,and flats. Several miles of the route follows a gated road closed
to motor vehicles. We recommend teaming up with other riders on these sections. Tire widths of 38mm or wider are recommended. Fallen leaves will hide loose and bony surfaces, so caution on descents is advised.
Our Winery Ride uses the Columbia Greenway Rail Trail and New Haven/Northampton Canal Trail for a flat 28 mile ride with a stop at the Brignole Vineyard for snacks (wine will be available for purchase).
Our 42 mile road route includes one moderate climb up the Granville Gorge with a mid ride rest stop at the Brignole Vineyard. At the vineyard you will have the choice of returning on the road (rolling terrain) or using the rail trail (flat).
The 25 mile route will give you a taste of the area's hills. While there is no mid-point rest stop on this route, you will be able to visit the Granville Harvest Festival mid-way through the ride. Visit craft booths, sample local Mead and take a break before heading back to the finish party.
Family Friendly - Free entry for children 15 & under riding with a registered adult.

The RUSA (Randonneurs USA) Brevet and Populaire are timed with a 6:00 AM start time for the 200K ride. No adjustments are made for late starts and all finishers must turn in a completed ride passport at the end of the ride to have a time recorded. 200K Brevet riders are required to have lights
