The weather will be beautiful on Thursday!!! We deserve to ride a sunny route with spectacular views to celebrate the clear skies, mild temperatures and light breeze!
This ride celebrates the beauty of the Presidential Range and the great views from Bretton Woods, Twin Mountain and the Jefferson Valley. This ride has some long gradual climbs, but nothing too serious for this early part of the season.
Meet at the Bretton Woods Ski Area. Park in the big lot across from the fitness center, which is on the right just after you turn off Route 302 into the Breton Woods Ski Area entrance. Meet at 10:00 am, ready to ride.
The route will head out onto 302 to Twin Mountain, and takes right onto Route 3 at the lights. Another right onto Route 115 for a gradual up and then over to the scenic vista, overlooking Pondicherry and the Jefferson Range. We continue on a great downhill all the way to a left onto Israel's River Road. We will do the triangle then return to Route 115 and head back up to the Scenic Vista and return to Bretton Woods.
Total distance is 32 miles. To shorten the route to 23 miles you could park a the tourist info center in Twin Mountain at the junction of Route 302 and Route 3 and join in as the riders pass by. Want more miles? Meet me at the Eisenhower Wayside Park at 9:30 for a total of 36 miles.
If you want to carpool, meet at the far end of the Attitash ski area parking lot at 9:20 am, otherwise, see you at Bretton Woods!
I have mapped the ride on Ride With GPS. It is called "Bretton Woods to the Jefferson Valley": my files are under "Marianne".
