Gravel

The oldie but goodie - Trescott-Dogford-Hanover Ctr-Route 10 loop!

Minimal gravel on Oak Hill Road and Reservoir Road, all passable by road bike.

We will leave the Oak Hill lot and head up the hill to Trescott, down Partridge and over to Ruddsboro Rd, where we’ll continue the climb up Three Mile.  From there it’s a nice descent down Ferson to Hanover Center Rd and Rennie Rd, then a right onto Route 10 and we’ll take on some mild Class VI on Shoestrap.  Left onto River Rd and a nice rolling return with just the Chieftain left to conquer before we roll back to Oak Hill for some post-ride pond dipping and maybe even some snacks (BYOB)!

We'll head up Colby Hill and Ladieu to Porter and the Black Hill Class 4 to Old County.  A bit of pavement, then Stage to Spencer to Hell Hollow.  Swoop down to 12A and back up the Saint-Gaudens road to the top of Dingleton Hill.  Down to Root Hill, Tandy Brook, and jackson, then back up East, Burr, and Camp to the start.

Overland Course from 2024

Up Rt. 14 for 1 1/2 miles to White Brook and a farm trail(short hike for most) to Whitney and Dairy Hill.  Potash Hill to downtown Tunbridge, and a short leg up 110 to Monarch. Monarch climb, down Spring, and back up out of the valley on Belknap Brook.  Potash Hill, Gilley, Robinson, and the Fay Brook descent back to the start.

The highlight of this route imho is Totman hill descent. We haven’t done it in a while! I have us coming back the kind way (aka most the climbing is front loaded)
