North Conway, Intervale and Jackson Loop

Thursday, September 16

This ride explores local roads in North Conway, Intervale and Jackson for a nice loop. Start by riding through North Conway to Cranmore and take Old Bartlett Road to the North end of Kearsage Road, then down Hurricane Mt Road down to Route 16. There, turn onto Route 16A. As an option for a nice ride along the river, turn up Town Hall Road for awhile and turn back when it gets steep and/or turns to dirt. The ride down is great!! Return to Intervale Road and then go up Dundee Road to Jackson, coming down near Black Mt Ski area, then down to Carter Notch Rd, then stop to snack at Jackson Falls. The downhill ride continues down route 16 back to Beautiful Downtown Glen where you turn left and return to North Conway via Route 16 and Route 16A.

So you wonder about Dundee Rd??? Yes, it has a stiff climb -- not long - but it is walkable and well worth the effort. This is a fabulous ride, and some walking on some dirt is part of the deal. The ride down from the top of Dundee all the way back to the car is really scenic and you will smile all the way.

Start behind the Eastern Slope Inn in the public parking lot, ready to ride at 9:00 am.

The total distance is 28 miles.

I am still away this week -- see you next week!! Happy Riding!!






9:00 ready to ride
