QVMS offers many rides throughout the week that caters to riders or various abilities. For beginners or those wishing to become more comfortable riding with others, the Monday and Thursday rides are great options. For those looking for longer rides, we offer 2 rides on Sunday. A "Short Track" ride that is usually around 40miles and a "Long Track" ride that can reach distances of 90miles.
We've also partnered with DAS for the MTB minded riders. This ride, affectionately named the Coast & Toast, is usually at Old Furnace with the option to add extensions around Quinebaug Pond and/or down the Quinebaug River Trail. The MTB ride will sometimes take road trips to Goodwin State Forest, Nathan Hale and Sutton State Forest.
