Description

A shorter, easier ride since I'm doing the Cabot ride on Sunday.

This would be a good ride for anyone new to the area to see two of the "main routes" in and out of Norwich and start building a mental map.  

Bragg-Downer-New Boston | 25.1 mi Cycling Route on Strava

2,900 climbing, no class 4

Start: 8AM, Huntley Meadows park & ride  https://maps.app.goo.gl/6Fb9iZHeGZap5e4c8

Current forecast is a brisk 49F, mostly cloudy

We'll head up Bragg Hill and drop down to Beaver Meadow.  Over the top, then down to Downer and across to South Stafford.  Back to Norwich on Mine -> New Boston.

If folks are interested we can make short side trips on Cossingham, Ladue or the Downer Camp class 4 to see those connections.

Pace will be relaxed. This is a no-drop ride.  I'll ride sweep, so you won't be last. If you have to walk, I'll walk with you. 

All riders should have joined the Upper Valley Cycling Club and signed the waivers for 2025:

Riders should have food & water, spare tube/repair kit, etc.  There is a store in South Strafford.

Feel free to email me with questions or suggestions.
