Well most of November and December so far has been better for skiing than for biking (unless you were down south...). How about trying a "WednesdaySki" to continue to get together and explore the amazing XC skiing that we have in our area?? Exactly like ThursdayBike, but not Thursday and not on a bike.
I would like to explore all of the local XC ski areas, also hit some easy backcountry trails when conditions allow. We can pick the best location and best trails of the day. I will be glad to learn about some of the areas I have not explored yet from those of you that know the trails well.
I picked Wednesday because most XC ski centers have Wednesday as the 2-fer day (Jackson, Bear Notch, Bretton Woods). BUT, to start off this event, I am choosing Great Glen tomorrow, MONDAY the 15th, because Great Glen has 2-fers on Monday and Friday (2 ski for $20). Also, if you have a season's pass from Jackson or Bretton Woods Nordic you can ski at Great Glen for $5 until the end of the year.
Great Glen has excellent snow right now, it is winter wonderland up there, and tomorrow should be a good day! It's still early in the season, lots of skiing options at Great Glen. Not a fast ski event, not too long. Bring lunch to eat apres ski in the lodge!
Meet at Great Glen, downstairs, ready to ski at 10:00 am.
I will be willing to carpool across the street from the J-Town Deli at 9:30 am.

Ride Cancelled
Thursday, November 20, 2014
I am canceling the ride due to the reports of snow, sand, salt, ice and cold temperatures. Maybe this will indicate that our ThursdayBike season is over? Who knows! If the weather chsnges, check the blog for a ride!

Clear but cold...
Thursday, November 13, 2014
Well, the forecast suggests that Thursday will be sunny, 38-42 degrees and a light breeze. Could be possible. I will set up a ride, and those if you who have not called it quits for the season and have not started skiing might be interested.
How about just the old usual failsafe:
Meet at 10:00 am behind the Eastern Slope Inn, ready to ride. Probably will need your XC ski clothing!
The participants will choose the route: West Side Road/Passaconaway, or head out to Cranmore and do Old Bartlett Road and head to 16A and perhaps out and back on Town Hall Road.

Yucky weather, ride cancelled
Thursday, November 6, 2014
I still don't like this Thursday's forecast. For these November days three factors need to be considered, with a minimum of two in our favor: Amount of sunshine, Temperature and Amount of wind. Looks like clouds, 45 degrees, windy. Strike 3, we're out. Now add to that the forecast of rain coming in after noon.
Perhaps next week? As usual, I will try to post rides until the weather suggests skiing would be a better idea! Over the years we have had a few ThursdayBike rides in early December!!

West Side Road and Passaconaway 10:30 am
Thursday, October 30, 2014
A chilly day tomorrow, but sunny, so it is worth a late season bike ride! Let's do a local favorite, starting at the parking lot behind the Eastern Slopes Inn, heading south on West Side Road, then out to the Albany Covered Bridge via Passaconaway Road. Short and sweet!
Ready to Ride at 10:30 am (let's let it warm up a bit!)
Total miles: about 24.
For a longer ride, continue to Lower Falls or Rocky Gorge.

WEDNESDAYBIKE !!! Wonalancet Loop, 10:00 am
WEDNESDAY, October 15th, 2014
Since the forecast for this Thursday looks like a washout, Edith and Bob have suggested a WednesdayBike ride. Please pass this ride info around so that ThursdayBikers get the change of date to this Wednesday!!!!!
The ride will be a clockwise Wonalancet Loop, about 25 miles. A beautiful fall ride, with some climbing and very rewarding downhills!!!
Meet at the Tamworth Village public parking lot (look for the big "P" sign) diagonally across from the "Other Store", behind the Town Hall and next to the Barnstormers.
10:00 am Ready to Ride! WEDNESDAY!!
After the loop, enjoy lunch or snacks at the riverside picnic tables at The Other Store.
Carpool from the back end of Grant's parking lot in Glen, 9:00 am.
Wednesday!!! Not too many Thursdays left in the season, so rides might just have to happen on Wednesdays, Fridays or whatever good days we get! We will fit 'em in when we can!!
