With Autumn upon us I thought I'd take the ride up Mount Greylock, the highest peak in Massachusetts. Glad I did. The day was crisp and clear, the Fall colors were beginning show themselves and the view was outstanding.
If you simply want to make the climb itself, a fairly easy route would be to start at the Visitor Center, 30 Rockwell Rd., Lanesboro, MA. The grade is steepest during the first and last parts of the ride but should be very doable by any fit rider. It's an average 6% grade over 8 miles. Bring some full cut gloves and a cold weather jersey and prepare for a very memorable ride!
