Itinerary
Day 1:
Meeting with the tour company representative at noon at Boston Logan Airport. Transfer to the tour start. Tour instruction and optional short ride. We’ll relax around the fireplace before our welcome dinner.
Day 2:
Serene pasturelands and majestic mountain views line our route to Bartholomew’s Cobble for a picnic overlooking the Housatonic River. Our afternoon loop ride discovers Berkshires’ village gems: Sheffield’s covered bridge, the classic town green in Alford, and Great Barrington’s shops and galleries.
Day 3:
Pedal past alpine views in the Monument Valley and handsome horse farms in the Tyringham Valley, where we’ll cross the Appalachian Trail. Longer options visit pretty Umpachene Falls and follow a pristine whitewater river. Tonight we stay at Devonfield in Lee.
Day 4:
Enjoy the “art of cycling” on our loop visiting the Rockwell Museum, Gilded Age mansions, and Chesterwood. Continue to the Tanglewood grounds or take a short hike through the ancient Ice Glen gorge. Arrival in Lenox.
Day 5:
Ride to Hancock Shaker Village, with time to visit the museum and its unusual round stone barn. A beautiful backroad option continues to Williamstown and the impressive galleries of the Clark Art Institute, or pedal on to inspiring views of the Taconic Crest on a tri-state loop into New York and Vermont.
Day 6:
Free morning in Lenox to browse in art galleries, tour Edith Wharton’s estate, or hike in the Pleasant Valley Wildlife Sanctuary. Early afternoon departure for Logan Airport in Boston
