Berkshire endurance test marks route and worries about signage
The Berkshire international motorcycle run, this weekend, draws about 300 riders for an endurance challenge. Allen St. Eames, 41, will stand at the starting gate at Middlefield Fairgrounds with maps and questions, while concerned about signs, trails, and public relations as riders tackle 330 miles of tracks and roads across Berkshire, Hampshire, and Hampden counties. His son David, 18, aided route marking over seven weeks, gathering mileage and time data to prep for the event, which starts each day at 8.
