The Alice's Restaurant Bicycle Ride is held every year on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. The 2024 ride will be on Saturday November 30th.
The ride is 68 miles with only 3 hills, or shorter options, and passes farms, goes along streams, and through villages in the Berkshires and of course passes the famous Alice's Restaurant Garbage Trail sites.
Special Thanks to local resident Alan Wilken for providing local insight on the Garbage Trail history and locations and providing riders support & transportation.
