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 175 miles per riding day (2 days, ~350 miles total). 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 per day |
|---|---|
| 10 mph | 17h 30m |
| 12 mph | 14h 35m |
| 14 mph | 12h 30m |
| 16 mph | 10h 56m |
| 18 mph | 9h 43m |
Most recreational riders average 12–16 mph on rolling terrain in a group, and less on hilly routes.
