Berkshires Harvest

About riding in Massachusetts
Massachusetts has rolling hills throughout, rugged terrain in the Berkshires to the west, and flatter coastal routes toward Cape Cod. Summer and early fall are the best riding seasons, with cold winters limiting the rest of the year.
Estimated finish times
The route is about 65 miles. Here is the moving time at a steady average speed. It is a flat-ground baseline: climbing, wind, stops at aid stations and group riding all move the real number, so treat it as a starting range.
| Average speed | Moving time |
|---|---|
| 10 mph | 6h 30m |
| 12 mph | 5h 25m |
| 14 mph | 4h 39m |
| 16 mph | 4h 04m |
| 18 mph | 3h 37m |
Most recreational riders average 12–16 mph on rolling terrain in a group, and less on hilly routes.
