Check out NEER's Upcoming Rides & Events Calendar Below!

Weekend and other non-event rides get added as the year progresses. NEER members receive weekly emails via a Google Group so everyone knows when rides are added to the schedule. We add those here as we add them!


Tuesday, February 11 - Full Moon Ride! It’s a Snowy Moon, what timing!

  • Start time/location: 7pm, across the street from Revolution Hall in Lexington, MA

  • Distance: Expect the ride to be 90 minutes-2 hours total. With all of the snow on the trails, speeds will not be fast, we’ll adjust the route length to be appropriate to get everyone back by 9pm latest

  • Studded tires are REQUIRED, any tire width should work on the trails!

  • Details & RSVP at the Ride Page

Feb 14-16 - Snowy Fat Bike Weekend & Poker Fat Bike Ride

  • Come up to the sweet town of Bethlehem, NH for two full days of fat bike riding on really fun trails.

  • NEER will lead fat bike rides for all who would like to join both Saturday and Sunday so you’re riding with others and getting a great experience seeing the fun trails (and we’ll be sure to get poker chips too)!

  • Support the outstanding trails and grooming efforts happening on the Franconia, Bethlehem & Parker Mountain trails (Poker Run details are here.) Not required to buy in to the Poker Run to participate, but we encourage it since it supports these terrific trails which is a ton of work and expensive to keep up.

  • Details are on the Event Page!

Saturday, February 22 and/or Sunday February 23

  • A weather-appropriate ride will be offered this weekend! If the snow is still really good, expect a snow ride. If the trails are mush, we’ll either head north for good snow or host a long, slow road ride.
