This week we’ll have a really fun adventure in Bretton Woods. Several of you have said that you’d be interested in just exploring an area some Tuesday morning. Well this ride is for you. The area that lies inside the perimeter defined by Mt. Clinton Road, Cog Base Road and Route 302 in Bretton Woods has lots of ride able trails in the National Forest. When I was checking out the logistics for this ride, on Saturday, the views were magnificent. The Presidentials were most imposing and they have shed their summer coat and are now wearing winter white. Even though the temperature hovered around fifty, it was quite comfortable with warm pants and a fleece top over a turtleneck.
We’ll all be discovering this area together. I have a general plan for the ride that will get us started and we can improvise, at will, on this base route. The surface appeared to include wide woods paths, jeep trails and some double track. Expect to encounter surfaces that are dirt, grass covered and gravel and don’t forget rocks and roots and mud.
We’ll meet in the Attitash parking lot at 9:45 am for carpooling. The ride will start from the turn out for the Upper Ammonoosuc Falls on the Cog Base Road. It is a little more than 2.5 miles in from Route 302. There is a small bridge across the river here. If you don’t see a bridge across the river you are probably at the middle falls turn out and you need to travel a little further up the road towards the cog station. Please be ready to ride at 11:00am.
Bright clothing is recommended. It's that time of year.
