1 event in Douglas, Massachusetts

This is the FREE Independace Day ”Reach the Beach” NS Trail Gravel Race/Ride. There will be a controlled rolling start for 2 miles to the first gravel segment which starts at the NS Terminus in Douglas, MA to roll into the start of the ride/ race. All gravel segments will be New Strava segments with entrants times posting after the race. Awards will be given for winners for the OA finish in each catagory. This is a FREE Event and all we ask is that all participants make a Tax deductible donation to the “Tunnels to Towers” organization www.t2t.org that supports Our Veterans and First Responders. Or you can make a donation to the Whitin Community Center www.whitincommunitycenter.com. This is a completely Non-Profit event to give back to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our FREEDOM!

The GPS track is provided. It follows the entire NS trail from Douglas, MA 78 miles to Blue Shutters Beach in Charlestown, RI. The Buck Hill section is “by passed” because it’s unridable. Everything on the Track can be ridden by a skilled rider. There is a mix of road, gravel, cart roads, single track and some short “hike a bike” sections. Any bike Gravel or Mountain Bike with no wider than 2.1 tires will be a good choice to best manage the course. The woods are pretty buggy so, bring bug repellent.

There will be Post race refreshments (sandwichs and cold drinks logistics won't allow grilling at the finish) available at the finish and will be held at Blue Shutters Beach. Changing and shower facilities are available at the Beach. Meet your Family after the race. You do need to pay for a day beach pass but, after 5 PM entry is free. I anticipate a finish around 4 PM.
