40+ miles

A classic! Hanover start, up 10 to River Rd, cross river in Orford, south on 5 to 244, up to Lake Fairlee and Post Mills, back on 113 to Thetford Hill, right on Academy and down to 132, back to Hanover via 5 and Tuck Drive.  Add in a Lake Morey loop if you want to hit 50 miles! 

Plan to regroup at major intersections (River Road/10, Route 132/5) and the top of each big climb (244, 113/Academy).

Route is about 60% paved and 40% gravel, 38mm-ish tires are fine for the gravel surfaces. Start/stop is at a relatively small office and retail center so best behaviour.  New London Park and Ride capacity is unpredictable so we're using this instead, is still close to I-89.  Danbury General Store is at mile 20. Rain may cancel.

An SMGR loop through Quechee, Pomgret, Woodstock-Cloudland and Hartland. From Watson Dog Park in White River Junction.

Shamelessly copied from a ride that Lou Bregou posted to Strava - this route features the always wonderful Downer Forest, with a sneaky connector over to Route 132.  A mile of woods trail at the top of Alger Brook Road leads to stunning views on Whitcomb Hill, followed by more adventure in UVD and the old copper mines of Strafford.

Starting at Huse Park in Enfield, we'll go over Shaker Hill to 4A.  Up and over George Hill to West Springfield, then twist and roll up and down to Little Sunapee road.  Otterville road, a short jog on Rt. 11, then Springfield road to Stoney Brook. Back to Springfield, Four Corners to 4A, and Shaker Boulevard around the back of Mascoma to get us home.

This route features a mix of surfaces, trying to respect early dirt road conditions, and legs.

There is a Jake's at mile 12.6, and the Lyme Country Store at mile 35 for fuel stops.

Featuring a lot of double track, class IV, and even a little light single track.  Expect the pace to be slower than a typical SMGR, and since there are no stores along the way, bring all the food you might need for 4+ hours.

Folks can detour the single track section near mile 6 over Acorn/Pinnacle Hill in Lyme, by cutting over to Highbridge Road, and regroup with us where Franklin Hill Road and Acorn Hill Road intersect at mile 8.

Starting location is the ball field parking lot across from Rivendell Academy on Route 25a.

Up Cloudland and down Barber Hill to South Pomfret.  Stage to Lime Pond to Sayer, and then the long, long descent on the Royalton Turnpike.  Back River gets you to downtown SoRo where you can fill bottles and refuel at the co-op.  Climb out of town on Oxbow,  then Broad Brook to the big Allen Hill climb.  Skyline to Webster Hill to Galaxy Hill and then the full Cloudland descent back to the start.
