First Ride of the Season: April 28th, 2011

CANCELLED!!

Dog-Gone-It, but the weather forecast just is not cooperating. The road is wet, the fog is in the valley, the forecast for storms seems to indicate an earlier approach of rainshowers.
I think it is best to just cancel the ride today.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The weather continues to be a challenge, but I am setting up the standard, local, old-favorite just to get us out and get this season underway!!!!!!

Last year at this point we all had done quite a bit of riding. This year I have heard that some off you have not even been on your bikes at all yet....... (but the skiing has been soooo great!!).

Let's do the old regular ride -- West Side Road and Passaconaway, starting out of the public parking lot behind the Eastern Slope Inn in North Conway. Let's start at 10:00. We should be done before the predicted rain and possible storms come in in the afternoon. This should get the wheels turning.

Time: 10:00 - Ready to Ride.
Arrive early enough to get the cobwebs off the bike, the tires pumped and the chain lubed. I will have a pump and lube if you need them.

Miles: 19 to the Dugway Picnic area on Passaconaway Road. You may ride further if you like, the road is clean, but the gate is closed and the road beyond the gate is littered with tree debris.

Bring: Beverage, lunch and/or snacks to enjoy overlooking the Swift River from the picnic area. Most of the way back from there is downhill or flat, with a warm tailwind to get you back to the car.

See you there!
