Circus Ride in Braintree

At the Circus Ride in Braintree, you’ll ride 40 (or 20) miles on dirt and class 4 roads.

The woods roads will require solid bike handling skills, focus, and strong legs. They are rocky, and muddy with multiple lines to choose from. A minimum tire size of 40mm or bigger is STRONGLY suggested, or a xc mtb would be well suited for this route.

The Circus Ride is named after the old circus that traveled from Randolph to Rochester up and over Randolph Gap and back again in the early 1900s. It was noted that the elephants pulled the wagons up to the ridge and then they switched them to behind the wagons to ease them down the steep mountain roads.
