Let's ride from The White Mountain Cider Company to the Rocky Branch Shelter #1 via Allen and Jericho roads. This is about a 13 mile ride which retraces most of the lower half of the Rocky Branch Logging Railroad that operated from 1908 to 1914. We'll ride on dirt roads and dirt trails most of the way. Be prepared to get your feet and legs wet when we cross from Allen Street over the river toward Jericho Road. It's a short crossing, but expect to hit a small pocket of water that is a foot and a half deep.
This is not your usual (relatively smooth) rail trail. There will be rough patches, trees across the way and waterbars which may necessitate getting off our bikes to maneuver safely. The return ride will be mostly down hill and a lot of fun.
Meet in the back of the parking lot at The White Mountain Cider Company on route 302 in Glen at 9:30. Bring lunch (or buy it at the Cider Co. Deli), sunscreen and water.
