Frank has offered to host the ride for you today!
Last week Frank and Gail did this ride and enjoyed it... they are willing to share it with you on Thursday!
The ride starts on Bear Notch Road, the Kanc side, at the parking area for Rob Brook Road. As you drive up Bear Notch Road from the Kanc side, it is about 3/4 mile up on the left.
Here is the info from Frank:
"Meet at the Rob Brook Trailhead at 9 AM. We will be riding the Rob Brook Road from there. This is a fire road that goes from here thru to the Kanc. The terrain is up and down and winding much like the UST cross country trail at Jackson ski touring. Non of the hills are steep, many “Gail” hills; the down hill takes you right up the next hill. There are some sandy spots on Rob Brook Road. So gravel or mountain bikes are best."
It is a 12 mile loop. Ready to Ride at 9:00 am.
There is a water crossing over the Swift River. With the drought, it should be low enough for an easy crossing. Wear shoes that are OK to get wet, or carry some water shoes or sandals for the crossing to keep your fine stylish Italian leather bike shoes dry!
For those that want more, meet at the Bartlett side of Bear Notch Road, at the parking lot on the left just before the gate area. Ride up Bear Notch Road, down the other side and meet the group at Rob Brook Road. I would guess that if you left from the Bartlett side at 8:00 you would easily be at Rob Brook Road in time to enjoy some chatting and then depart on the dirt road ride. You will add about 17 miles, round trip, doing Bear Notch Road from Bartlett to get to the start of the Rob Brook dirt road ride.
