Upcoming Events

Weekend Group Ride

Sunday, September 25th - 10am-1pm, Blackstone Heritage Corridor Visitor Center at Worcester

The best part about biking is biking with friends! Join MassBike and riders from the local Worcester community for a casual-paced group bike ride along the bike paths and quiet streets of Worcester.

We'll check out the Blackstone Heritage Corridor to learn about the history and origins of the industrial revolution, and we'll likely stop for ice cream along the way. A working bicycle, helmet, and appropriate clothing like close-toe shoes are required for this ride.
