Riders update - Please make note of the following:
- Roads are in pretty good shape, all are paved, some are not in great
shape. Special note for Rt 2 near the bottom of the descent is in pretty
rough shap use caution.
- Mount Greylock is in great shape, please make note that we have
not marked the mtn road up with paint. You should make your way to the
summit for the south (rt.7) side, then descend the north side (towards
North Adams/ Rt. 2) before and after the park WILL be marked, but in
the park use the state signs. BE CAUTIOUS ON ALL DESCENTS OF GREYLOCK
AND RT 2, ESPECIALLY NEAR THE BOTTOM !!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU NEED TO CONTROL
YOUR SPEED !!!!!!!!!!
- Rt 2 (19.3 miles) and Rt 143 (10 miles) are well marked with state
highway signs, we did not paint a lot there. The turn OFF Rt.2 is Rt 8A
way out in Charlemont you will see the ski area.
- The start of the ride, Rt 8 in being repaved, you can use the bike
path for 5 miles or so then turn north on Rt 8 at that crossing, the
left turn for Laneboro Rd is the first road from there.You may use the
bike path for the first miles until you make it to Rt 8 north, then it's
about 1/4 of a mile to the left turn onto Lanesboro road.
Please check for updates before the
ride.
