Monkton Ridge Ride – Three options; 23 (E), 38 (M) and 43 (M) miles will travel some familiar roads and some less traveled. The short ride will not ascend to Monkton Ridge but all rides will have some nice descents which, of course can only reached by some nice ascents. Make sure to bring plenty of water and snacks because there are not many places to get food, especially on the two longer rides.

This scenic 30-mile (M) ride goes from Underhill to Cambridge on mostly dirt and gravel roads past a myriad of old stone walls and not so old solar panels. Our midway point is the store at the end of Upper Pleasant Valley Road in Cambridge. If there is sufficient interest, at the end of the ride we can add an extra seven miles roundtrip to Poorhouse Pies in Underhill to share a delicious treat.

Meeting Place: St. Thomas Church of Underhill, 6 Green Street
