Thusday, October 14th

It looks like the approaching rain isn't going to arrive until the evening, so let's try a nice ride beyond the notch.

Let's start at the Bretton Woods Ski Area, parking in the lot near the entrance across from the fitness center. Then head west on 302 straight through the lights at Twin Mountain to River Road and Wing Road (along the Ammonoosuc River), until Wing road ends at Route 116. Turn around and return to Route 302. Turn west (right) on 302, cross the bridge, quickly turn left onto Trudeau Road, and ride to the junction with Route 3. Turn left, and ride Route 3 into Twin Mountain and the junction with Route 302. We can do a lunch stop at the roadside rest stop on Route 3 (can't recall the name, but it has a restroom).

Distance ... ummm .... mid-30's maybe?

Shorter, easier route -- out and back via River Road and Wing Road, skipping the Trudeau loop, for 28 miles.

Longer option: Start from the Mt Clinton Road forest service parking lot (need a parking pass) or park at Crawford Notch near the railroad station. This way you get the climb the notch back to your car at the end of the ride.

Let's meet at 10:00 am, ready to ride at the big parking lot across from the Bretton Woods Fitness center building. The fitness center is on your right just after you enter into the Bretton Woods Ski Area road.
