Tuesday June 23rd Ride

6/23 update...There's blue sky out there - Let's ride! See you at 10:00am.

Although the weather forecast is mixed, with a 50% chance of light rain, I'm feeling lucky. Let's get out and ride. Tomorrow's route will be an exploration of the dirt roads in the Bartlett Experimental Forest for about 5-8 miles (depending on the weather conditions). Then we'll cross over to the east side of Bear Notch Road and do some fun, experienced novice, single track and old logging roads on the Reservoir Brook Trail for 1.5 to 2 miles. We'll never be more than a few minutes away from our cars if it starts to rain and we decide to bail out of the rest of the planned route.

Let's meet at 10:00am, ready to go, in the parking lot off River Road just after it crosses the Saco River in Bartlett. Directions: Take Route 302 to Bartlett, at the blinking light in the center of Bartlett take a right and in about half a mile you'll cross the Saco River and the parking area will be to the left of the bridge.

We will need to shuttle people and bikes up to the top entrance of the Experimental Forest (which is almost at the top of Bear Notch) from the parking area. Then we'll start our mostly downhill adventure. Bring bug spray!

IF IT'S RAINING TOMORROW MORNING THE RIDE IS CANCELLED. Check back here at 8:00am to confirm cancellation.
