Location The Gallery shopping center Town New London Distance 65.0 miles Elevation 5,800 feet Collections SMGR Features Road, Gravel Map Strava Description Mostly paved ride, road wheels with wider tires would be fine. No Class VI. Route differs from previous years between miles 54 and 55 due to a rail trail access dispute. Leave rail trail at mile 54 by going right on Bridge Street, go left on Route 4 for about 1 mile, left onto Depot Street then left at mile 55 onto Cilleyville Road where you'll get back on the original route. 7+ mile paved climb to Mt. Kearsarge trailhead, bathrooms available there. 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 I suggest 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. New London Park n Ride is usually full. Start stop at The Gallery shops, please park on right side of parking lot, away from Hair Station.
