Crank Some Crawford: Attitash to the Willey House 10:00 am

Thursday, Sept 29th, 2016


Pardon the late posting!  I returned home from the C&O-GAP yesterday and still in unpacking mode.

A  nice day is forecasted for Thursday...Hopefully is it less damp and dreary than today!

Destination: Lunch at the pond across from the Willey House. Pack your own lunch or snacks. 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). Join the crowd as they ride by at ~ 10:15 at Bartlett Village.

I have house guests arriving on Sunday -- avid cyclists from Colorado who want to enjoy NH's fall foliage. Tom and I know them well from riding cross country with them in 2002 and the Lewis and Clarke ride in 2004. They rode cross country again, on their tandem, this summer. I will be biking with them on Monday and Tuesday, weather permitting. I will post the rides on this site, likely on Sunday, hopefully Thursday Bikers will join in on these rides!  On Monday I might do the Pittsburg ride again, or the Lost Nation Loop or the Grand Hotels Loop. Perhaps the Basin or North Road on Tuesday. Weather will dictate the schedule. Please join in to enjoy the ride and meet Allen and Margaret!
