Join us for our infamous Tuesday Ride at Lowell-Dracut-Tyngsboro State Forest. This is an advanced-intermediate technical ride typically 12-15 miles in length.

The pace is a bit more moderate for the first few weeks as we all shake the rust off, but ramps up to a steady challenging pace with occasional stops to regroup. The ride has two start times to accomodate traffic and schedules. A warmup loop of a few miles leaves the parking lot just after 5PM, and that group swings back through the lot to pick up late arrivals by 6PM.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT PARKING: Due to lack of parking at Trotting Road, this start of this ride has moved.  We now meet at the public park behind the ballfields located at 10 Gumpus Rd., Lowell MA

The 2016 Turkey Burner will be on Friday November 25, weather permitting. 10 AM start at the Case Pond trailhead, 68 Birch Mountain Road, Manchester.  Spillover parking is also available a short distance away at the eastern end of the Charter Oak Greenway, 691 Camp Meeting Road, Manchester.  Led rides for social intermediate through expert riders.  Riders should be at the Case Pond lot and ready to go by 10.

There is a map of the course on this Facebook Page.

Join us for our Friday group ride at Russell Mill and Great Brook Farm!  This is an advanced-intermediate skill level technical ride, typically 12-20+ miles in length (longer during prime riding season when we include a loop to GBF).   Some road riding is necessary to connect the two locations.

We have two start times to accommodate traffic and schedules.  A warmup loop of a few miles starts just after 5PM, and comes back through the parking lot before 6PM to pick up late arrivals.

Parking lot is directly across from 1 Raymond Road, Chelmsford MA.  Look for signs for the Murphy Soccer Fields.  Park in the back lot, further from the street. Read more about MVNEMBA FRIDAY RIDE @ Russell Mill & Beyond

Park at the end of Trotting Park Road. First wave rolls out at 5PM and loops back at 6PM to pick up the second wave. The pace is intermediate and is geared towards a rider the ride at least twice a week. Lights will be needed if you plan on extending your ride time.

We're switching things up a bit for this ride and moving things to Harwinton. For those who don't know: The Town of Harwinton has been working with NW CT NEMBA over the last couple of years to establish mountain bike trails on their properties. A lot of work has been done and we're going to check it out!

Our plan right now is to have one group do about 10 miles at a moderate pace, though we could split into 2 groups if needed. The goal is to show off the trails and terrain in the area. It will be a nice change of pace from the riding in Burlington that normally do for our group rides.

Meet at 5:30 at the Harwinton Town Hall at 100 Bentley Drive.

Join Dennis and Margie for another of our no-drop Monday social rides. This time we'll get in a nice cool morning ride!

Geared toward newer riders but we always split up into two groups and have a faster and longer ride, too.

Depending on the group you go with you could be riding a mellow 4-6+ miles or a faster 8-10+ miles with more climbing and technical features.

Meet at the Nassahegan soccer fields at 8:00 a.m. with the goal of rolling out by 8:15.

The Thursday night ride series at Hopkinton State Park are novice/intermediate paced, no drop rides. While the park has a few small climbs and technical features, mainly the trails are flowy and fun, and not very technical.  Typically the rides last 1 to 1 1/2 hours and cover 6 to 8 miles.  Beginners are welcome, and we will split the ride into two groups if levels vary.

We ride most Thursdays, but check the BVNEMBA Facebook page or contact the ride leader to confirm.

Park in the cul-de-sac on Holly Lane in Ashland.  Wheels up at 6:00 PM.
