Let's do a ride with a little elevation gain to get our hill climbing gears warmed up! There is not much traffic these nice April days. It is a good time to ride route 302 towards Crawford Notch.
Destination: Lunch at the pond across from the Willey House. Pack your own lunch.
Meet at the Attitash parking lot, ready to ride at 10:00 am.
The ride to the Willey House from Attitash up route 302 is about 29 miles round trip. It is NOT HARD -- it is easier than Bear Notch Road, a gradual climb with flatter sections of relief. The ride back is marvelous.
Those that want to burn some extra calories can continue 2.5 miles up the notch to the Crawford RR station, then return to meet everyone else for lunch at the Willey House.
For a shorter option, start in Bartlett Village (24 miles total) or at the parking area for the Sawyer River Road (on the left, just after the new bridge over the Sawyer River; ~18 miles total).
Join the crowd as they ride by: ~ 10:15 at Bartlett Village, ~10:30 at Sawyer River Road.
Do you need a map? See the link below. Even if you don't need one, take a look at the elevation profile AFTER you finish the ride... and feel Good!!
