The weather forecast looks very good for Tuesday. So let's venture out of the valley to Chocorua. This is one of Bob Houlihan's favorite rides and he will be leading the group this week as I'm in Philadelphia. Below is Bob's description of the Chocorua Lake Loop.
This week I would would like to ride the dirt roads just south of Chocorua Lake in Tamworth. This a relatively easy 12 mile ride with a couple of hills going out Fowler's Mill Road and returning through Hemmingway State Forest. Car traffic is very light on this loop.
Meet at the parking lot on the west side of route 16 at the intersection of Fowler's Mill Road (also known as Chocorua Lake Road). Be ready to ride at 10 AM. For those wishing to carpool meet at 9:15 AM in the back of the parking lot behind the Laconia Savings Bank, which is located at the intersection of route 16 and 153 in Conway Village.
The ride goes out Fowler's Mill Road for 4.7 miles
Left on route 113A
After .1 miles left on Old Mail Road
After 2.3 miles left on Gardner Hill Road
After 1.9 miles left on 113
Then in another .1 left on Philbrick Neighborhood Road
After 1.4 mi right on Loring Road
In another .8 we take a right on Fowler's Mill back to the beginning
If the bugs aren't too bad we can have lunch by the lake.
