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.

Description

A favorite route for the WNR C group. Gravel on Reservoir and Dirt King. Lookout for the babbling brook and a waterfall on Ruddsboro. The views from the top of Dirt King can be spectacular before the long, long descent of Laramie and Hardy Hill. Lookout for the right hand bend where Hardy Hill crosses Jenkins and Brook Rd. The road configuration is confusing and you might be tempted to cross the lanes and head up Jenkins, DON'T. If you are unsure then stay with the group and follow someone who knows the area.
