Local Ride Loops
The cycling right-out-the-door in and around Putney is rural and scenic. We have mapped road and dirt road rides with varying degrees of challenge for you to explore. Mountain biking can also be found in neighboring areas. Keep in mind, it's hilly around here.
Many of our favorites leave right from West Hill Shop. We have plenty of free parking, picnic tables for snacking, and an outdoor shower (just bring a towel). Below you'll find a sampling of our most popular rides.
