Join the New England Expedition Riders

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

Rides get added as the year progresses. NEER members receive weekly emails so everyone knows when rides are coming up, often well before they hit this schedule. We add those here as we add them!

We host a separate fat bike distro email list so that fat riders can find each other especially easy to hit the trails when the conditions and mood strike!
