Gravle Indipendenza

The Gravle Randonneurs will be riding the following route in celebration of America's Independence on July 3rd.  We'll be meeting at the trail head of the Harlem Valley Rail Trail at 8 AM. 

This is a new route in a familiar location that we have ridden a few times last year.  The challenging part of this route is hitting Mt Riga Road after nearly 60 miles of riding on the return leg.  We'll be sure to stuff ourselves at the pastry shop in Salisbury before the final climb.


This route will take us deeper east into Western Mass and explore some dirt roads that I have identified on the the Tri State Gravle Roads Map but haven't ridden before.

There are three signature climbs on this route:

  1. Sunset Rock - 1,726 ft
  2. E Hill Road - 1,522 ft
  3. Mt Riga Road - 2,007 ft
And over 40 miles of Gravle!
