Gravel

A diabolical ride designed by Art Copoulos. About 50-50 paved and gravel. Quinntown Class VI is very rideable, no hike-a-bike under normal conditions

Starting from the school, we'll wind our way out for a short stretch on 44 to the start of Rush Meadow road.  The long rolling climb all the way up, down Reeves, up Silver Hill, down Cowshed and Sheddsville.  Across to Coon Club and its short steeps, and then Marston takes us over in back of the old prison.  Up Weeden Hill and a few more to Jenneville, then Kings highway and one more big climb on Blood Hill.  Back across Sheddsville and one more view of Ascutney from Bible Hill before we arrive back at the start.

No pave this week, just gravel roads.  Hopefully Teago Store is open on the 4th or at least we can fill up water at mile 25ish.

A favorite, often used loop that is about 70% gravel and 30% paved. No Class IV.

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.
