Ride to the Races
For the fourth year in a row, the Longsjo is partnering with the MBTA to host the “Ride to the Races.” You can either ride your bike west, and take the train home after the races, or ride the train both ways and tour some of North Central Massachusetts’ most scenic roads. This year’s Ride to the Races benefits the Pan Mass Challenge.
