Last Ride ???

We haven't done the Conway Rec Trail this year. That's a fine kettle of fish! How could that happen? Well let's do it before the snow flies.

The Rec Path saunters along the Saco River and then heads through the woods to The Mineral Springs site where the new high school is located. We will view the Mineral Springs Pagoda and then hop on the path down to route 302 by the old quarry barracks.

Next we'll cross route 302 and enter the trail network leading to the Powerline trail which will take us almost to Puddin Pond before we go west toward the railroad tracks. An old dirt road will bring us back to the quarry area. Here we'll see old structures and machines that the woods are reclaiming. We can explore some of the trails near the quarry or go back down by the Saco to extend the ride and have lunch by the rushing waters.

The main surface will be dirt and there are tree roots in a couple of places. Also we'll ride over one short section of loose gravel by the railroad tracks which our route will parallel briefly.

Meet at the canoe launch parking lot by The Saco River at the end of the road behind the Conway Police Station which is located at the intersection of Route 302 and East Conway Road.

It will be chilly early in the tomorrow morning, Tuesday November 30th, so let's start the ride at 11:oo am. Dress warmly.
