This ride was nurtured by Joe Medeiros, a former club vice president. Under Joe's guidance, this gently rolling ride through the rural countryside between Fall River, New Bedford and Freetown was improved and extended to 63 miles. In 2022 and 2024 the ride was updated and is now a true metric century at 62 miles.
The short loops of this relatively flat ride are great for beginning riders.
