Saturday looks like a sunny and cool, crisp, fall day. Great day for a bike ride in the fall foliage!
Let's do a ride south of the valley where the temperatures may be a bit warmer than the notches, and the foliage still at peak.
The Lakes and Pine Barrens Ride starts at the King Pine Ski Area parking lot (across the street from the lifts), travels south down route 153, then goes east though the Ossipee Pine Barrens on Bennet Road. The route goes by Camp Calumet at the northern tip of Ossipee Lake, crosses Route 16 and goes on Route 25 in West Ossipee for about a mile, then takes old route 25 and 113 into Tamworth Village. Go directly to The Other Store for snacks or lunch (or for more fall foliage along the riverside, ride up the Chinnook Trail to Wonalancet and back). After the lunch stop in Tamworth, return via Depot Road, the northern end of Silver Lake, East Madison Road, and up and over the hill back to King Pine.
The distance is 34 miles.
Add more distance by starting out of Conway Village (about 24 miles extra) or doing the extra miles to Wonalancet.
Meet at the King Pine Ski Area parking lot at 10:00am ready to ride.
Bring lunch or snacks. We can eat at the picnic tables behind The Other Store (or the other store next to it...).
For those from Glen/Bartlett, meet for carpooling at the Grant's (old Dunkin Donuts location) parking lot at 9:00am.Here is a map:
