Dam and Dummer

Monday Update:
I've had several inquiries about carpooling for tomorrow's ride. We'll meet at 8:50am at The Old Jackson Town Hall which is across the street from the Post Office and School.

Don't miss this ride!
It will be one of the top three rides of the season!!! Along the way there will be plenty of oohs and aahs accompanied by a couple of wows. There's lots of water and lots of fabulous views. In fact I guarantee a minimum of one eye popping moment per person.

The ride starts across the street from the Berlin Airport. We'll go north on the rural and quiet East Side River Road which closely follows the Androscoggin River and has wonderful views. Next we'll turn right onto Hill Street a dirt road, which gently rises through woods and farm lands and takes us around the Dummer Loop and back to East Side River Road. From here we'll head to The Pontook Dam on neat dirt roads which parallel a hydropower canal before getting us to the seldom seen east side of the Pontook Dam and reservoirs. Before starting our return on East Side River Road we'll stop by the hydro station south of the dam where there is a lovely water front spot for lunch.

Take route 16 north through Berlin. About 3 miles past Nansen Wayside Park (old ski jump on the left and waterfront park on right), Bridge Street will be on the right. You should also see an airport sign pointing right too. Cross over the Androscoggin River and at the end of Bridge Street pull into the ball park lot on your left.

Please be ready to ride at 10:00am Tuesday May 25th. See you there for a very special ride.
