The 80 returns from Sterling; the 47 & 92 mile routes go to East Princeton. The 105 & 59 mile routes continue to Mt. Wachusett. All routes join back together at the water stop in Sterling.
All rides return along the Boylston side of the Wachusett Reservoir, passing through West Boylston & Boylston. We ride through Berlin back to Bolton with a well deserved stop at the Berlin Orchards where you will find great hospitality, plenty of water and great food. All routes are fully arrowed and are on back country roads with minimum travel on numbered roads. A map and cue sheet is supplied.

The other routes are rolling and very hilly with no major climb.
Support: Bananas, bagels & water will be available at the start points and at two staffed points along the routes, one in Sterling and one in Berlin. All routes pass both stops. There are convenience stores in towns along
