Looks like good weather for Thursday!
Let's check the springtime green fields and flowering trees on North Road. If you have never done North Road....it is an absolute bikers paradise, a real gem. -- It runs parallel to Route 2 on the north side of the Androscoggin River - the traffic stays on Route 2, good place for it.
Let's start in Shelburne Village. It cuts out some miles, cuts out a few sharp climbs at the very end, and adds a nice ride on a quiet road with nice views. Good for the early season. The Shelburne Town Officials are glad to have us there, and the porta potty is installed in the field, ready for use.
Start: Ready to ride at 10:00 am.
Total Mileage: about 35. This is rated a B/2/35

Park in Shelburne Village: To get to the parking area take Route 16 north to Gorham, take a right on Route 2 heading east, go about 5.6 miles. Take a left into Shelburne Village, (might be signed as Meadow Road) then very shortly afterward take a right into the tiny village. Park in the playing field/ballpark (Chester Hayes Memorial Park) on the left side of the road (via a dirt driveway).
Bring lunch to enjoy at the riverside park in Bethel. There is a convenience store just before the park, if needed.
Carpool? If you want to carpool, meet in Jackson at the parking lot across the street from the J-Town deli at 9:10 am, otherwise, see you in Shelburne.
