Hey! Love your channel - I'm in the middle of doing a 351 challenge, but my plan is to ride my bike through each town! 183 done! Got here from your Monroe video where I'm planning on riding through next weekend!
Hey, sorry for the delay for responding, was camping in another Massachusetts town! I looked at some of your videos, and your challenge looks very cool! Where are you off to next?
@@TheMassachusettsProject thanks!! I finished biking through Bernardston, Colrain, Leyden, Heath, Rowe, Monroe, Hawley, Ashfield, and Williamsburg last weekend. On Labor Day weekend I've planned biking from Springfield to Sheffield along Rt 57, and then cover the southern Berkshire valley towns.
Zack you're doing a great job on your commentary of all these towns most of the towns I've never heard of before so it's very interesting to find out about little towns that exist that exist but most people don't know about keep up the good work
There are a couple of townships on Cape Cod that do not have numbered state highways. In western Mass there is Wendel, Leyden, Rowe, Monroe, Middlefield, Montgomery, Tyringham and Mount Washington.

Great content. Next time you go I recommend checking out the expired parking meter tombstone by the church. Keep it up!!
Thanks! I've never heard of this, I'll have to check it out when I return someday, maybe to go see the time capsule.
