Tuesday, August 25th Ride
Last week we made the journey to Littleton for a very successful ride so let's ride closer to home this week. And what could be more in the heart of the valley than North Conway? We'll never be more than a few blocks from Route 16 but what a difference those few blocks make. This route will allow us to explore Whitaker Woods, Shedd Woods, trails along The Saco and the trails leading down to The Pudding Pond Conservation Area. We'll also do a loop in the conservation area as well as try out the new pump track.
An experienced novice could handle these trails which are mostly dirt double track or wide dirt paths. With all of this weekend's rain there will be a mud puddle or two especially as we ride between Cranmore and Pudding Pond. Expect to cover about nine mostly woodsy miles.
ADDENDUM 8/24/09: As an optional extra we can add on a ride through Whitaker Woods to the Scenic Vista (and back) for an ice cream at Trail's End Ice Cream. This will add about 4 miles to the ride.
I had hoped to do the Sawyer River Trail this Tuesday, but parts of it are under water as a result of the recent rains and some beaver activity. Hopefully we'll be able to do this route later. It is especially beautiful in foliage season.
Meet at the Whitaker Homesite parking lot across route 16 from White Mountain Oil. Be ready to ride at 9:30am.
