Description

New London Park/Ride is usually full. Start and stop at The Gallery shops, 276 Newport Road, New London NH.  Please park on right side of parking lot, away from Hair Station.

Mostly paved ride, gravel bike recommended, road wheels with wider tires would be ok. No Class VI. 

7+ mile paved climb to Mt. Kearsarge trailhead. Bring cash in case park guard requires entrance fee.  Bathrooms available at top. Back down to cafe at bottom @ mile 38. 

Where we arrive at Main Street in New London (mile 63) there is a lot of construction and potential driver distraction, and the pavement has been patched, so recommend taking over the traffic lane all the way to our traditional stop at Blue Loon Bakery mile 63.5, best bet is take left onto Lovering Lane and enter through the rear parking lot.
