This Ride is a Blast!

So far we've had about an inch of rain and the forecast is for another inch of rain to fall tonight. The NWS is also predicting a 70% chance of rain tomorrow. So the ride tomorrow is cancelled.

Tuesday August 23rd we are scheduled to go to Bretton Woods for a 1/2 day of lift assisted riding. To get the group rate we need 12 riders. At present we have 10. Please extend an invitation to anyone you might think would enjoy this type of biking.


It's the height of vacation time in Vacation Land. So let's do something really fun. We'll start off at the top of Bear Notch Road and cruise down the dirt roads in the Bartlett Experimental Forest. Then we'll cross over to the east side of Bear Notch Road and do some fun single track and old logging roads on the Reservoir Brook Trail.

Let's meet at 9:30am, 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. This will be a lovely lunch spot after our mostly downhill ride.

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.

At present the forecast is a mixed bag. So check back here Tuesday at about 8:00am if the weather looks iffy.
