Welcome to Adventure Cycling’s New England Streams and Villages, a 314 mile ramble through rural New England. This is what Adventure Cycling calls an “inn to inn” ride, which is their most luxurious category. Still, we carry all of our own equipment and clothing and there is no sag wagon. The good news is that we stay at inns and enjoy the local cuisine for breakfast and dinner. We have a guide and gps routes.
Here is our itinerary:
