Monadnock Backroads Biking
<p>A Bike Ride through Monadnock's Picturesque Backroads</p>
Details
Join me for this roughly 25-mile bike ride loop through Jaffrey, Dublin and Peterborough. We'll be taking secondary roads through the country-side almost the entire way...with additional portion(s) on rail-trail which parallels the Contoocook River. Along the route you'll get a chance to see some picturesque ponds, views of Mt. Monadnock, Old Jaffrey Center, the Edward MacDowell Dam and historic Peterborough. Note: The roads are all good, but they will be a mixture of paved and hard-pack gravel roads (Class V). As you'd expect the region is hilly and you can expect a ride that is almost anything but flat (ca. 400' elevation gain)! A road bike with good tires or hybrid bike should be ideal.
The ride will begin and end at my place in Jaffrey.
Bring along: Your bike, helmet (recommended), bug repellent, sunscreen, light lunch / snacks for the ride, water.
After the ride: We'll do burgers and dogs on the grill (provided). Bring along a side or desert to share.
Directions
We'll meet up at my place in Jaffrey, not far from the Rts 124 and 202 intersection. The ride will begin and end here. Detailed directions will be emailed to participants the week of the event. If for some reason you are having problems getting emails from GO, send me your email, when you sign up, so that I can include you in the communications.
