It should be a great day for a scenic, easy ride in the North Fryeburg-Chatham-Stow area!
Start 10:00 am, ready to ride, next to the North Fryeburg Fire Station at the corner of Route 113 and South Chatham Road. They have expanded the parking lot into the grassy park, I presume to help keep cars off of the roadside.
Last time I was over there, the fields were either emerald green or ready for planting the corn or potatoes.
The route starts south on Route 113 to Cornshop, then Route 5, Fish, McNeil, Harbor, Union Hill, Meadow, the Stow Store and, if you like some extra miles, the Chatham Loop. Union Hill is in very good shape, the dirt part of the road is very smooth, best I have seen. Even the bad road section of the Chatham loop has had some work.

The Stow Store is closed for spring cleaning, but the porta potty and the picnic tables are there for our use. Bring snacks to enjoy there in the sunshine.
Basic ride to Stow Store: 21 miles. Add the Chatham Loop: 28 miles total.
Start at the Maine Visitors Center on Route 302 and ride to the start for an extra 10 miles each way. Start there at 9:00 am.
Ride Rating: A/2/21
If you want to carpool to North Fryeburg, meet at Grant's parking lot at 9:15. Otherwise, see you in North Fryeburg!
Hurricane Mountain Road is open.
