Dave and Connie created the Apples Acres Ride a few years ago and everyone loves it! Who better to host it than the originators??? Yes, Dave and Connie will be your hosts!
The store is open and selling apples, organic peaches, cider donuts, coffee, ice cream and plenty of other treats.
Start the ride from the Brownfield Community Center, head to Route 160 via Pig Street. At about 10 miles, turn left on Tripptown Road, across from a cemetery, then left on Durgintown Rd. These back roads are shady, scenic, quiet biking gems. Stop at Apple Acres for the view and some snacks, then continue downhill and turn left on scenic River Road to Hiram. The 4-Corners Store has reopened so perhaps you may want to take a short side trip there for snacks and chocolate milk. Return by a short sprint on Route 113/5 then left on Notch Road (but, no notch to climb) and then back onto Route 160 back to Brownfield.
Distance is about 35 miles.
Meet at the Brownfield Community Center, ready to ride at 10:00 am.
To drive there from the Conway area take Route 302 to the Maine border and take a right onto Haleytown Road. Take a left onto Hampshire Road towards Brownfield Center. Bear left at the Y junction with Route 160. The community center will be at about 0.7 mile on your right. It is approximately 30 minutes from North Conway Village, about 45 minutes from Glen.
Carpool if you like, from the back of Grant's parking lot, 9:00 am. Otherwise, see you in Brownfield.
