Steve Blum's Backyard BBQ Ride July 19

Steve Blum invites everyone to the annual Mt Washington Valley Velo Club Monthly Ride for July: The Backyard BBQ Ride! Steve lives in Stillings Grant, near Bartlett Village. The ride does Crawford Notch and beyond. There are many ride options to choose from. The ride will start near his house, and at the end of the ride, all are invited to his house for a summertime barbeque fest!


Meeting time: Saturday, July 19, 2008 (rain date Sunday, July 20, 2008) at 8:30


Meeting place: Langdon Trailhead Parking Lot, River St. (opp. Bear Notch Rd.) Bartlett Village.


I've planned a few rides from Bartlett which go to and through Crawford Notch. The Long Ride ventures over to Whitefield, Jefferson and Twin Mountain for a total of 80 miles. A shorter option of about 60 miles loops towards Bethlehem and returns to Crawford Notch and Bartlett on theTrudeau Rd. Other options include rides to the Cog Railway Base Station and return (45 miles), the classic Bear Notch Loop (40 miles), Willey House round trip (26 miles) and the Jackson Falls bike and dip (18 miles) Heck, you don't have to ride at all to join your friends at the BBQ later in the day! Directions from the Langdon Trailhead to my house will be given at the start of the ride, or by phone if you're not riding.

I will need to shop and prepare for the BBQ a couple of days in advance so PLEASE RSVP if you plan on coming to that!
