Dear AdventuRiders,
Well, the weather is looking much better for tomorrow. Mostly cloudy but little chance of rain and temps in the mid 60s.
We will start in East Pepperell Center and ride UP to Hollis, NH and take the French Mill Road route to Nashua instead of our usual Wheeler Road route. There is some civilized gravel road on the way and a fair number of hills before we hit Mine Falls Park for a no traffic route to downtown Nashua.
We can have lunch at Martha's Exchange (a brew pub) in Nashua before heading back. If the weather is nice enough we can have lunch outside on Main Street.
We will ride back on a different route through Mine Falls Park and then take as little of the Nashua River Rail Trail back as we want.
On Wednesday, September 28th - East Pepperell Center
- The Exploration Ride will leave at 9:30 AM.
- We should be back by 2:30 PM.
- Starting Point Map - East Pepperell Center Rail Trail Parking.
- Route Map - Pepperell - Nashua - Martha's.
- Distance = 28 miles.
- Elevation Gain = 550 feet (moderate).
- Unpaved = 8 miles - it sounds worse than it is.
- Equipment - Any well maintained bike will work, but I am planning to bring my Hybrid bike.
AR Index = Roughly 34 flat, paved miles.
Hope to see you there,
Bill, but probably not Carole :-(
