Dear AdventuRiders,
It looks like a FANTASTIC day for bicycling tomorrow. Sunny, mid 50s to low 60s, and very little wind!
We have several people on tight schedules tomorrow, so please be ready to LEAVE Hampton North Beach at 10:00 AM.
To keep to our schedule we need to ride at a deliberate pace, somewhere in the 12 - 14 MPH range. I promise not to zoom off like I did on the Seacoast Century this year. Most of the morning ride is on Route 1A which isn't very "chat friendly" anyway, so by riding faster we can have more leisurely breaks and not feel rushed.
After lunch we have 12 miles back to the starting point and some less busy backroads.
On Wednesday, November 9th - Portsmouth
- We can meet at Shaw's in Groton to carpool at 8:45 AM. Here is a map.
- The Exploration Ride will leave Hampton North Beach at 10:00 AM. Here is a map.
- We will return to Hampton North Beach by 2:30 PM.
- Starting Point - Hampton North Beach (not to be confused with North Hampton Beach!).
- Route Map - Hampton North Beach to Portsmouth.
- Distance = 31 miles.
- Elevation Gain = 310 feet (basically flat).
- Unpaved = none.
- Equipment - I plan to bring my real road bike.
AR Index = Roughly equal to 31 flat, smooth miles.
Hope to see you there,
Bill and Carole
