Springtime means green pastures, apple blossoms and fresh asparagus.
So, lets add some apple blossoms to Asparagus Hill....
On Monday I talked with Bruce Hatch (who has an apple orchard on Brownfield Road in South Conway) about the status of his apple blossoms, and he said they are starting to open. They will likely be open for us on Thursday as we ride by his farm. His farm is close to the Earle Family Farm, about 3.5 miles up from the intersection of Route 302 and Mill Street in Center Conway. Bruce has invited us to stop by his farm for a look at the flowers and, if you like, a walk up behind his house for a view of the valley.
Then - on to Asparagus Hill. Almost all of you know Asparagus Hill and have a story to tell about it. Either ride it or walk it - at least it is short and over with soon.
The Snowville Loop includes riding by Crystal Lake and a stop at the Eaton Store for snacks or lunch. I heard they are giving away the cabins across the street from the store ....anyone interested??
NOTE NEW MEETING PLACE:
Meet at the riverside parking lot behind the Conway Police Station on East Conway Road near the intersection with route 302. We will ride out from there following Route 302 to Center Conway, regroup at Bruce's Orchard then continue the loop through Snowville and again regroup at the Eaton Store. Return is via route 153 to Stark Road and back to the Police Station. By starting at the Police Station and returning via Stark Road, we avoid riding though traffic in Conway Village. Let's see how this alternate starting point works for us.
Ready to Ride at 10:00 am
Total Distance: 26 miles
Shorter Option: Go to Bruce's Orchard and return to the Police Station - total of 15 miles.
