Description

Given the number of folks doing the Dirty Project and the recent rain, how about a Saturday morning road ride?

Chelsea loop | 50.6 mi Cycling Route on Strava

8AM start, Sharon Park & ride

The current forecast is 62F at 8AM, 75F by noon.

Starting in Sharon frontloads the climbing, so the last 20 miles is all following rivers downhill. It's good terrain for teamwork. 

  We start up and over 132, down throgh South Strafford, then over Tucker to 113.  Up through Post Mills and Vershire, down to Chelsea, the 110 south through Tunbridge to South Royalton and back on River.

This is a no-drop ride.  Pace will be relaxed.  I'll mostly ride sweep, so you won't be last.  If there's a big difference in speed the fast folks can split off the front and I'll stay back.

All riders should have joined the Upper Valley Cycling Club and signed the waivers for 2026:

Riders should have food & water, spare tube/repair kit, etc.  There are stores on the route.

Feel free to email me with questions or suggestions.
