Saturday Ride 7:30 am

Post by argus »

Start from Groton Center, meet around Main St./119 and School Street, 75 miles, 6k feet of climbing, some pavement, some dirt roads, mostly in NH.

I'll post a strava route link if there is interest.

Looks interesting. I may be in. On the dirt roads bit, are they like Battenkill type dirt roads so we can use regular road tires?

They are mainly dirt roads rather than trails, although there is one short trail, but it is highly rideable. The Battenkill roads are much smoother. 700x25 at a minimum, fatter is better and a cyclocross bike would be comfortable and not a bad option.

Link to the route is below, with the red being the dirt sections.

Weather looking risky for a long-ass ride on Saturday...
