Description: This 100-miler
travels over mostly flat to rolling terrain on both sides of the
Connecticut
River in northern Connecticut and southern Massachusetts. This is a
relatively easy Century ride.
Route includes the Norwottuck Rail Trail (10 miles) between
Northampton and Amherst, Massachusetts, but also has an option to bypass the
trail using Bay Road since some sections of the rail trail have been cracked
by tree roots and need to be repaved.
