Experimental Forest and Reservoir Brook Trail

This Tuesday Barbara has invited us back to her house after the ride for refreshments and a dip in her pool for those who are so inclined.  To keep the driving and logistics to a minimum let’s do a local ride - The Experimental Forest and Reservoir Brook Trail ride. 

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. 

In all we’ll cover less than 10 miles.  For those of you who want to add to your mileage you could meet us at the top of Bear Notch between 10:15 and 10:30.  Or you could pedal to Barbara’s after the ride.  Or you could add some miles by biking on River Road before the ride. 

Let's meet at 10:00am, 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.

Bring your lunch to eat at Barbara’s.  Also pack water, sunscreen and bug spray.

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.
