Saturday October 4th: Polly's Pancakes

John Renda invites everyone for a fall foliage ride to Polly's Pancakes in Sugar Hill.

Here is the plan from John:

"Here's what I'm thinking for the route over to Polly's. It will be around (38.5 mi.) to Polly's.
Start at the Bartlett school (near the blinking light in Bartlett Village - intersection of Bear Notch Rd with Route 302) at 8:00am ready to ride. Follow Rt.302 up thru Crawford Notch with a quick stop at the Highland Center, then continue on Rt.302 up past Bretton Woods to the light in Twin Mt., keep going straight on 302 into Bethlehem to the juntion of Rt.142., I think there is a store there to get drinks. Ride up the hill on 142 then I think it is all flat and downhill into Franconia. In town turn right on Rt.18 down to the junction of Rt.117 then it's about a mile and a half climb up to Polly's. Note: We should call ahead to put our name in when we get into Franconia.
After the feast people will have the option of driving home (if you have a driver for your car) or several us will be riding back to Bartlett via the Franconia bike path into Lincoln and climbing up the Kank then down to Bear Notch Rd. and back to the school. The return trip will be around (47 mi.) for a total distance of about ( 86 mi.), and LOTS of climbing. Then we could go to the Parka for a well deserved beer."
