More Snow
The Berkshires received several inches of snow this morning, but not enough to close schools, unlike yesterday's sleety mess. Temperatures will drop into the 20s this afternoon. A few more snow showers are expected through the weekend.
We have reports that the roads are very slippery to take care in the evening commute. |

The Mount Greylock Go 'Round Mountain Bike Ride - August 21, 2008
The annual Mt. Greylock Go 'Round Mountain Bike Ride, featuring 26 and 13-mile rides will be held Saturday, September 6th. Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. at the Greylock Glen gazebo off Gould Road in Adams. The rides begin at 10:30 a.m. The event is sponsored by the Friends of Greylock Glen, a group dedicated to land stewardship and trail maintenance at the Glen and by the New England Mt. Biking Association. Organizers ask for a $20 donation, which includes a burrito feast after the rides. Proceeds will benefit the organization.
Again this year, because of the closure of the roads on Mt. Greylock, the featured ride will follow last year's route along the eastern flanks of the mountain for 26 miles. Participants can also opt for doing just the first 13 miles of the ride which will bring th em back to the Greylock Glen start point.
The Go 'Round is not a race but an endurance ride completed at a moderate pace. Riders should be in good physical condition and prepared for steep, sustained climbs and challenging trails. Volunteers will staff three rest stops, with food and water, along the south to north route, planned by Josh Chittenden. Riders should also be sure to carry their own food and water. A "sweep" rider will follow the group to account for everyone at the finish. The burrito picnic will be held at the gazebo after both rides are completed. Swimming is available at the pond.
Participants are asked to RSVP to mail@mtgreylockglen.com to help organizers plan the post-ride meal. For directions to Greylock Glen and more information, visit www.mtgreylockglen.com or call Heather Linscott at 413-743-7893. |
