Dear AdventuRiders,
Its hard to complain about the weather after the spectacular days we have had this season. However, Wednesday looks decidedly wet and the route has 4 miles of normally smooth dirt. If we get substantial rain overnight and tomorrow morning it will turn to mud :-(
Anyhow, I'll make the GO / STOP decision before 8:00 tomorrow morning.
On Wednesday, October 8th - Lake Potanipo, Brookline, NH.
We will cross the 100 year old suspension bridge over the Souhegan in Milford and pass the Granite Town Rail Trail (not very bikeable) before stopping for lunch at Chrysanthi's Restaurant. If you want to skip lunch, its just a couple of miles straight down Route 13 back to the start.
- 9:30 AM - We will leave for Milford, NH.
- 1:30 PM - Non-lunching people should be back.
- Starting Point Map - Lake Potanipo, Brookline, NH.
- Route Map - Potanipo - Silver - Milford.
- Distance - 23 miles.
- Elevation Gain - 1400 feet - 2 Category 5 hills.
- Unpaved - 4 miles - mostly smooth.
- Equipment - I plan to bring my road bike.
- AR Index - Roughly equal to 32 flat, paved miles.
Hope to see you there,
Bill and Carole
