Join us as we dust off the cobwebs on our bikes, fill up the tires, lube our chains, and get our bikes ready for an easy eco-ride on the Ahuwillticook Rail Trail with queer folks from all over the region. We will have a couple bike mechanics standing by to help you with easy repairs & lubrication before the ride. If we can't get your ready ready for the ride or you don't have a bike, we can rent either a bike or e-bike for you. This is an easy ride on a paved trail that runs through wetlands, forest, and by two spectacular lakes and best of all we will not be bothered with car traffic on the rail trail, except for a couple of well-marked intersections where the trail crosses Route 7. We will stop for lunch at Whitney's Farm Store in Cheshire, which has great sandwiches, including gluten free bread, and eat our lunch next to a reservoir, where Alison Dixon, a Berkshire Regional Planning Commision Naturalist will talk teach us about how climate change is affecting these eco-systems. TUNE UP OR RENT A BIKE : If your bike is in bad shape, we highly recommend you get it tuned up well before the Pride Ride by calling Berkshire Outfitters in Adams (413) 743-5900 , The Arcadian Shop in Lenox, (413) 637-3010 True Wheels in Sheffield (413) 248-6177 And If you don't have a bike, Q-MoB can rent you a regular bike or e-bike if you let us know that you'll need a bike when you register WHAT TO BRING $10-$20 Donation paid online , as cash, or check made out to BSCC (Q-MoB's 501(c)3 Fiscal Sponsor) whatever equipment your bike may need to ride safely, & you could buy some of these items at Berkshier Outfitters (e.g., air pump, spare bike tube, bike tube changing tool, lube for your chain, windex or other cleaner for your bike, rag, basic bike tools rain-gear (rain coat & rain pants, ideally high visibility color with reflective strips) appropriate footwear, high visibility vest, jacket and helmet (we strongly recommend you wear a helmet) flashing bike lights on the front & back of your bike (red in the back & white in front) snacks & water, waterproof gloves & balaklava, depending on the weather forecast Glasses, Sunglasses, or Goggles to protect your eyes from dust, debris, & sunlight WEATHER & & COMMUNICATION : Please check the weather the morning before the ride so you can make sure you have the right clothing & equipment if conditions change, which they often do in June in the Berkshires.
