Wild River Road in Evans Notch 9:00 am
Tuesday August 21st, 2018
Tom Sweeney will host this week's ride! He has cased out this route and it should be a great ride on a beautiful day!
The ride starts in Shelburne Village, NH, at the Chester Hayes Memorial Park. It heads to North Road and goes to the iron bridge over the Androscoggin River. Ride over the bridge and stop for a nice river view. Continue to Route 2, take a right and after a short distance, turn left onto Route 113, the road to Evans Notch. This is a beautiful ride along the Wild River. After 3.3 miles, you will take a right onto a dirt road, Wild River Road, that leads 5 miles to a backcountry campground. Ride this out and back. Lunch break could be riverside, perhaps near the new bridge on the Wild River (replaced after Irene took out the old suspension bridge).
Distance: About 30 miles. 20 miles on pavement and 10 miles on a good dirt road.
Meet at the park in Shelburne ready to ride at 9:00 am.
Shorter option? Start at the iron bridge (Bridge St, Gilead) for a nice 18 mile ride (8 miles on pavement, 10 miles on dirt). There is a parking area on the southwest side of the bridge.
Meeting place and parking: Start from Shelburne Village, just off Meadow Road (a left turn off of Route 2 about 5 miles east from the Route 16/2 junction in Gorham). After turning left into Meadow from Route 2, take a quick right onto Village Road. Take a left into the Chester Hayes Memorial Park and park on the left off the dirt pathway on the grass.
If you want to carpool, meet in Jackson, in the parking lot across the street from the J-Town Deli at 8:10 am. Otherwise, see you in Shelburne!
