I give you....
The Berkshire Triple Crown!
I built my own race this past weekend, and took it on a test run. It's grueling climb after grueling climb, but there's plenty of relief with some quick pit-stops at local eateries.
I'd love to get more people involved when I repeat it next year. Maybe bring a little cycling culture to my home town in the process...
Thoughts?

That looks like fun... going to be in Beckett end of the month, no time for riding though, teaching a short course. I've had the bike down that way a couple of times. Nice riding...
What bag are you using in your anything cage?

I wish it were special. It's a cheap stuff sack that came with my thermarest wrapped in a Snow Peak mesh sack. There's a raincoat in there.

Really, you should end at East Side Cafe or Teo's Hot Dogs in Pittsfield.
