This Week - Harvard - Seacoast - South Chelmsford

Dear AdventuRiders,

Well, the weather isn't looking good for Monday (80% chance of rain and 50 degrees), but I will schedule it anyway.

Speaking of weather, either Wednesday or Thursday we will be riding the New Hampshire seacoast to Portsmouth for lunch.


On Monday, April 26th, we will meet at the soccer fields on Depot Road in Harvard. Here is a map.

The morning Fitness Ride will climb Prospect Hill and then zip down to Vaughn Hill. From there it is a steep uphill to the ridge. We will ride along the ridge and stop at Bower Springs for a bit of offroading around the ponds. Then its off to the apple orchards on Oak Hill and back to the start. The route is about 15 miles, but very hilly and a bit of offroad. Here is a map.

Lunch will be at BYOL at the soccer field. You can get lunch at Sorrentos or Pizza Bella, but its a bit of a drive.

The afternoon Recreation Ride will go around Bare Hill Pond and visit several outstanding lakeside vistas and the town beach. On the way back we will climb Prospect Hill for amazing views of the mountains. The route is about 12 miles and hilly with some offroad. Here is a map.
