Biking for Books Moved Due to Rain

The 2nd Annual Biking for Books Scenic Bike Tour has been moved from Saturday 9/29 due to rain. We'll try again tomorrow (Sunday, 9/30 -- first riders can leave at 10AM, last rider should start by Noon). If the roads are wet tomorrow, we'll move it to NEXT SUNDAY October 7th. Th elatest forecast for next weekend is much better -- and should make for a spectacular tour.

  • Epic 53 mile road loop (4300 ft. of climbing) that winds through Groton State Park, Cabot and Danville (self-guided, maps provided). 
Proceeds go to buy books and materials for The Peacham Library.
  • There will be a selection of locally made goodies at the finish. 
  • Start/finish will be at The Peacham Library. Start anytime between 10AM and Noon on Saturday, September 29th (rain date 9/30).
