OK!
HERE Is the proposed ride map for Fridays ride...
We will ride through back roads and historic NH towns and villages, as we make our way west to the lower end of the Green/White Mountains...to those used to (or expecting) GA type roads in the Greens/Whites...Sorry there is only ONE GA and it's not up north here...The Green/Whites will feature long sweepers and quiet (hopefully) back country roads...These are some of the oldest Mountains in New England...Time and Glaciers have worn these mountains down...Monadnock is unique, as it stands alone compared to it's surrounding landscape (thus the term monadnock) The top has been scrubbed totally clean of all soil and vegetation giving the impression of a tree line (yet it is below the elevation needed to form a tree line)A combination of fire and harsh weather has left nothing but a bald top.
Several stops along the way are scheduled for some classic New England "must sees" Lunch will be in the historic city of Keene...an odd mix of Historic surroundings and modern culture (college town)...there are many fine brew houses and pubs as well as most "chain" type establishments...I will be riding this route soon to see if the roads are still in shape after the several harsh winters here...as well as scouting out fuel and "photo op" sites...
As always this is subject to change...but for now this is the plan....200 miles and 5.5 hours (with no stops) Enjoy!
