The
ride is a 36 mile, anticlockwise loop which goes up the Franconia
Notch Bike Path, turns off the path to head downhill via the Mittersill
Ski slopes then skirts south of Franconia on Wells Road coming out near
the glider airport. It then heads out Route 116 to the Kanc and climbs
Kinsman's Notch from the easier, more gradual side. The downhill cruise
back to the cars is a real treat!! Beautiful, epic ride.
We
start and finish in Woodstock, at the public parking lot behind the
storefronts across from the Woodstock Brewery. Great place to enjoy a
burger and beer after the ride.
If
the weather fails, or you have had enough, us we can make the call at the top of the bike path
and return to the cars downhill by bike path. This is a fabulous 28 mile
ride by itself.
Bring food for lunch at the glider airport.
To
get to the parking lot in Woodstock: Bear Notch Road and the Kanc to
Lincoln, following the Kanc past the Route 93 interchange into
Woodstock. Just as you are slowing down, after crossing the river,
BEFORE approaching the traffic light in Woodstock at the Route 3
junction, there is an entrance to the public parking lot on your right.
It is a big lot behind the storefronts on Route 3. If you miss this
entrance, take a right into Woodstock onto Route 3 and drive about a
block, looking for the parking lot entrance driveway on your right. It
is BEFORE you reach the Woodstock Brewery.
Let's be ready to ride at 10:00 am.
