About Bike New England
Celebrating
our tenth year of providing beautiful affordable bicycle
tours. After joining the 2000 Big Ride Across America
for the American Lung Association, I was hooked on Bicycle
touring. After riding across the entire country, my favorite
cycling was still right at home in the Berkshire Mountains
of western Massachusetts. So I started Berkshire Cycle Touring
to share these beautiful rides. In 2004 I moved to charming
Ipswich, Massachusetts on the north shore of Massachusetts,
another great cycling area in a state that will surprise
you with it's many wonderful rides. The company expanded
and adopted the name Bike New England to reflect our expansion
to this area as well as southern New Hampshire and Vermont.
We're
joined in our Berkshire cycling tours by Barbara Lampron,
a cycling enthusiast who has that special touch with our
guests that makes Bike New England tours so unique. On the
North Shore, Diane Isenberg and Joy Brown help lead the
Elderhostel tours. All our guides as well as our rides are
local-- that's how we give you such wonderful affordable
tours in these popular cycling destinations.
We've
explored many other fascinating areas of the Northeast,
including Lake Champlain,the Adirondacks, the Monadnock
area of New Hampshire,Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, Quebec's
Eastern Townships, and Nova Scotia's Cabot Trail. It is
our pleasure to share descriptions and directions from these
adventures with you at
bikenewengland.com
By
keeping our tours local, we can offer them to you
at very affordable prices. Explore the links to the left,
and check out the calendar page. Remember that early in
the season, it is often possible to reschedule a tour to
fit the needs of the first people signing on.
