The various routes were created using plot-a-route.com. I'm pretty sure they are accessible to anyone who has the links. What you are allowed to do with them (download the gps tracks, etc.) might depend upon whether you are a registered user. Anything you desire, in terms of access, should be available for free however, even if you need to register as a user.
Please let me know if you have trouble accessing any of the information below. I am using Dropbox for all of the downloadable files and have the P-a-R privacy settings at "public." If neither of these are working for you let me know. I can be reached at: plussier[at]whitneyacres[dot]com
Dates and times: This series features each of the following routes in succession. Therefore the tentative date for each appears in parenthesis after the name. Start times will vary by ride so check the Facebook page for those.
A small, but very challenging, inner loop mirroring the larger 50 Mile Northern Loop, it misses all but one of that route's most heinous climbs but has one it shares with only the 30 Mile Loop, Haskins Rd. 2, which climbs steeply to a largely level but unmaintained section that will almost certainly require some walking and crossing wet areas. If that seems like too much fun you can make an about face, descend your recent climb, and follow Rt. 116 to rejoin the 20 Mile Loop where it heads south on Bush Rd. Just so you won't feel left out of the climbing, you have High Street Hill Rd. to climb before connecting with Shaw Rd and finishing a la the Notchview trail system. You'll be on gravel 67% of the time.

A small inner loop mirroring the larger 100 Mile Route, it misses all of that route's most heinous climbs but has a climb it shares with only the 20 Mile Loop, Haskins Rd. 2, which climbs steeply to a largely level but unmaintained section that will almost certainly require some walking and crossing wet areas. If that seems like too much fun you can make an about face, descend your recent climb, and follow Rt. 116 to rejoin the 30 Mile Loop where it heads south on Bush Rd. To finish, the 30 Mile Loop takes it's own unique path after W. Cummington following the discontinued River Rd. to E. Windsor and making a very respectable climb on Pierce Rd. to eventually join the 100 Mile & 54 Mile Southern Loop finish on the south-of-Rt. 9 Notchview trails. You'll be on gravel 67% of the time.

Essentially the northern half of the 100 Mile Route, leave Notchview on the same trail and roads with the same climbs to the north and a return to Notchview on the gravel roads in Windsor with a final climb of High Street Hill Rd. and reconnection with the Notchview trail system off of Shaw Rd. You'll be on gravel 40% of the time.

A clockwise loop following essentially the same roads as the second half of the 100 Mile Route. You'll have the same climbs and a return along the same isolated stretch of gravel and pavement back to a connection with Notchview's south-of-Rt. 9 trails. Water stops are few and far between on this ride. Bring an extra bottle if you can. You'll be on gravel 56% of the time.

[Though the following descriptions are called "routes," they all are, in essence, loops which begin and end at Notchview. How they came to be called routes isn't clear but perhaps since they are combinations of the previously described loops they needed a different name. Regardless of the reason, it is important to emphasize that you don't have to worry about any extra miles getting back to your starting point since the start and finish are in the same spot in all cases.] With this ride you'll be combining the 20 Mile Loop with the 50 Mile Northern Loop, returning to Notchview after the former in order to begin the latter. Water availability should not be a problem on this ride for that reason.
For supporting materials (route maps, gps tracks, etc. just refer to those already made for the two loops mentioned.) You'll be on gravel 47% of the time with this ride.
This ride combines the 30 Mile Loop with the 54 Mile Southern Loop. There is a return to Notchview between ending the former and starting the latter which is a good thing because water stops are scarce on the Southern Loop route.
For supporting materials (route maps, gps tracks, etc. just refer to those already made for the two loops mentioned.) You'll be on gravel 60% of the time with this ride.
Exit Notchview using the Circuit Trail to Shaw and, from there Savoy Hollow, road. The route will first take you north for some serious hill climbing (Upper E. Hoosac St. and Black Brook Rd.) and then south through Windsor on gravel and then, just after the half-way point, a short distance on Rt. 9 to access more climbing and gravel followed by a crossing of Rt. 9 and more gravel through Goshen and Chesterfield. The hills start again with Mt. Rd., Porter Hill Rd., Trouble St., and finally Clark Wright Rd. in Middlefield. It's a long, pretty, and isolated ride back on rolling gravel and pavement from there. You'll be on gravel 47% of the time.

Still have legs left after riding the D2R2 the previous week? Want to put an exclamation point on that statement? Missed the D2R2 and want to ride something equally as gnarly? Ride the Meanest Mile Century, which takes in all of the climbs from the 100 Mile Route with the substitution of Monroe's Kingsley Hill Rd. (called "Massachusetts' Meanest Mile,") plus Florida's Tilda Hill Rd., in place of Savoy's Black Brook Rd. To make it as hard as possible we are saving that substitution until mile 89 when your legs have already become wasted. This is accomplished by rearranging the 100 Mile Route so that the southern leg happens first (read the above route description with that in mind.) This has one small advantage in that the group returns to the Notchview parking lot before tackling the second section. This mid-ride stop will allow for refueling, rehydrating, and rethinking before the next leg. The total distance for this ride is 118 miles.
I used Plot-a-Route to generate the map for this ride. Bonus: shows the route on the Notchview trail system and the directions have been edited for accuracy.
