Description

UPDATE on start/finish, parking and B group. Fran is IN.

David M , Sarah S, and I will be co-leading this classic route across Province Road, past Sculptured Rocks, Newfound Lake and back over Washburn Hill. Province Road is technically a class IV road, but it is generally (no promises!) well maintained and should be in good shape. Definitely a stream crossing is involved, which is the bridge building we will do (metaphorically, don't worry!), but that section of pavé is relatively mild. The Bear Hill and Cole Hill class IV sections are more technical, but deliver a really cool adventure connecting Newfound Lake to the shoulder of Cardigan Mountain. The view at the top of Washburn is worth the climb.

David, Sarah, and I will cover A and B+ paces. Fran will lead her B-paced group.

We're not planning a stop, so please plan to self support.

Please park at Canaan Elementary School. We'll start and finish here:

31 School St, Canaan, NH 03741

For those looking for an extra big day, we'll refuel at Canaan Jakes after the ride and I'll host an after party around Moose Mountain and Mascoma/Crystal Lake and Grafton Pond.

See you Saturday at 9am!
