Tour de North Conway

There haven't been any takers as of 10:00am.  So the ride is cancelled.

Tomorrow looks like a sunny day with a high of 47.  The morning will be quite chilly and the warmest part of the day will be in the mid to late afternoon.  So let's get  the best of the day and start at 2:30.

This route starts with a short pedal on route 16 to the trail entrance on the right across from the hospital.  This will lead to the Saco and from there we'll head into the center of North Conway and the trails through Whitaker woods.  After a cruise along the Scenic Railroad tracks we'll rejoin route 16 north to 100 Acre Woods. After sampling some of the trails there the route heads back toward the Scenic Vista and we'll ride through the fields near the Saco on dirt roads and trails back to the parking lot.

Let's take advantage of one of this trail's best features, The Moat Mountain Smokehouse.  If we start the ride at 2:30 in the warmth of the day we will end the ride around sunset which will be the perfect time to quaff some of the Moat's fine brews!!!  And for those so inclined we can dine hear too.  Yum!

This route is well within everyone's skill set and is about 13 miles long.  Meet at The Moat parking lot toward the back. 

Let's start at 2:30 sharp!  Please let me know tomorrow morning if you plan to ride.  Dress warmly.
