From big races to Saturday morning group runs—find gravel events and connect with the local endurance sports community.
Join our training rides for the B2VT and the VT Monster. All rides start and finish at Conte’s Bike Shop on Mass Ave in Lexington, MA. We’ll email registered riders the day before with the final route and ride details, and we’ll also post updates on Instagram at @b2vt.ride and @vtmonstergravel. If weather forces a change or cancellation, we’ll share an equal-distance Zwift meetup option and update both channels. We'll have post ride refreshments at the shop after the ride.
