The weather forecast does not look good for Saturday -- looks like a rainout.
Let's hope for next Saturday -- lots of good riding to be done in beautiful fall foliage!!!

Saturday Ride September 6th
CANCELLED DUE TO HEAVY RAIN FORECAST
Grafton Notch Loop for Saturday Sept 6th
Peter and Sally Minnich will host this ride.
Peter sends this infomation: Start at the Common in Gorham at 8:00, ride North Road to Bethel, Route 2 to Newry, Route 26 to Errol, then Route 16 back to Gorham. It's an elegant, not-too-hard loop that took us between six and seven hours at a modest pace of about 14 miles per hour. The notch climb gains about 500 vertical feet with a couple of short climbs before Upton and a couple more before the long downhill into Errol.
For a shorter option, you can ride North Road to Bethel out-and-back (~40 miles) or North Road up to the top of Evans Notch out-and-back (~40 miles).
