How about a late fall ride to The Basin?
The weather forecast looks great! Starting at 10:30 should insure a warmer start. Ride as far as you like, many options to choose from. Check out the former location of the Red Iron Bridge. Check out the new pavement on Union Hill Road (only about a mile, but we'll take it!!) Stop at the Stow Store for lunch or snacks. The fall fields and golden colors will be beautiful!
Meet at the corner of South Chatham Road and Route 113 in North Fryeburg, alongside the park next to the Saco Valley Fire Station. As you already know, please do not block the fire station parking area.
The last quarter mile up to The Basin is a dirt road, and I am not sure of its condition at this point of the season. If it is a wash out, you may want to just use the campground at the entrance as the lunch and/or turnaround spot.
The starting time, ready-to-ride will be 10:30 am.
Doing the ride starting south on 113 with a left on Fish St and left on MacNeil, it will be a 28 mile ride. Add another 5 miles if you add the Cornshop-Rt 5-Fish Street loop.
Enjoy! I will see you next week, hopefully the weather will be good then, too!!!
