Routes

Riders can choose to ride 10 miles, 35 miles, 50 miles, 63 miles, or 105 miles on some of the best routes in Eastern Mass. All of the routes head west-southwest from Jamaica Plain with 'cutoffs' for the different route options. Just like last year, all rider bibs will have a QR code for each route, which can be scanned via smartphone to quickly pull up a link to any route.

GPX routes are available to view and download on Ride with GPS. We highly recommend saving your route and downloading it to your bike computer, GPS device, or for viewing in the Ride with GPS mobile app. Many riders without a GPS or bike computer sign up for a free 7-day premium trial on Ride with GPS to get turn-by-turn directions.

BAT 2021, 50 mile riders After splitting off from the 35 mile route in Weston, the 50 mile route shines as riders pass through beautiful landscapes in Lincoln, Concord, and Wayland. This route utilizes well-maintained, quiet roads as it weaves past conservation land, picturesque farms, and historic homes.

Rest stops are located at the Food Project's Baker Bridge Farm in Lincoln and at the Weston Public Library. You may view the route here: The Trip to the Farm 2023 (51.7 miles)

63 Mile

This route is adapted from the 100 mile route and is also a great option for riders looking to go a bit further than 50 miles. Clocking in at 100 kilometers (or about 63 miles), riders can brag that they rode a Century after finishing this route! Enjoy quiet roads, scenic farmland, and beautiful woodlands - all with plenty of time to get back to Stony Brook for lunch. Most of the world uses the Metric system, so why not have a Metric Century?

Rest stops are located at Matlock Farm in Lincoln and at the Weston Public Library. You may view the route here: Agony & Ecstasy - The Metric Tease 2023 (63 miles)

With some of the best scenery in the Metro West, riders will be well rewarded for this challenging ride! At just under 105 miles with 5,700 ft of elevation, riders should expect to train adequately for this ride.

Four rest stops will be available on this ride, located in Lincoln, Harvard, Concord, and Weston. You may view the route here: Agony & Ecstasy - BNB Goes to Harvard 2023 (104.3 miles).
