These rides are not your everyday training rides. They’re longer and more demanding than the “Solid” and “Bread and Butter” rides.
This is a great ride. Choose between the steady climb by starting North to Bennington or a sharp climb by starting east to North Adams. The Bennington Cycle Club uses the Woodford climb as part of their Summer ITT series.
Can’t get more secluded then this. This ride is gorgeous. After some intense climbing over the Hairpin Turn, you hit some beautiful views of North Adams and Williamstown. On the other side of the mountain you reach the Deerfield River and ride along side it all the way up to Vermont. A ton of swimming holes along the way for a fun swimming break.
