This perennial favorite is about a 14 mile circumnavigation of Gorham on mostly dirt roads and trails with a bit of paved road thrown in too. Starting by the common in downtown Gorham. We'll head north to the Gorham Emergency airport toward the rail trail. This trail leads to Hogan Road east for about 5 miles on the virtually untraveled north side of the Androscoggin River where there will be awesome views of the river and several power dams. Here we'll start to head back to Gorham Center with a short ride on Route 2 to the pipeline trail in the woods. Most of this ride will be on pretty flat and smooth trails and roads. The pipeline trail and Hogan Road do have some manageable hills.
For those of you who want to carpool meet at The Old Town Hall in Jackson, across the road from the post office at 9:30. Let's start the ride at 10:00am.
Please let me know if you plan to ride. Don't forget to bring your lunch.
Directions: Drive north on route 16 to Gorham. Just before the T intersection with route 2 there will be railroad tracks. Immediately after crossing the tracks turn left onto Railroad Street. Hook a U turn and park on the other side of the road across from the Common.
