    Tips

    January 17, 2025

    Prospect Hill Road to Fruitlands is a local favorite segment of riding. As you climb up the road, you get increasingly open views out to Mount Wassuchet (the tallest mountain in the state) over a historic stone wall. In the fall, when the leaves are changing colors, it is a truly stunning view. Just past the summit of the hill is the turn off for the Fruitlands Museum. Fruitlands was a short-lived utopian community started in the 1840s by Amos Bronson Alcott, Louisa May Alcott's father, and Charles Lane. Today it is a museum and also once hosted a amateur cyclocross race from 2015-2019. It quickly became a local favorite race due to its difficult course over rough and muddy surfaces.
