Description

New Boston -Alger-Kerwin -Bradley | 34.9 mi Cycling Route on Strava

1PM start, Norwich Green.  Forecast is 72F and sunny.

All the way up New Boston to South Strafford.  The big climb up Alger Brook, then to Miller Pond and the long Sawnee Bean descent.  Buzzell Bridge to the dam, then Kerwin Hill to the Class 4 to the Bradley Hill singletrack trail.  Pop out on Union Village and swoop back into town.

If folks don't want to do the Class 4 and trail, we could ride Kerwin Hill and Pattrell instead.

Pace will be relaxed. The route is challenging enough. 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:
