Rachel's Tamworth History Tour 10:00 am. Ride Code B/3/18

Tuesday, June 1, 2021

For this Tuesday, Rachel will lead another of her great tours of the dirt and paved roads of Tamworth. She is calling this a History Ride, as she will point out and describe various interesting places along the way. Looks like good weather for this ride!  The bike club's ride code for this is B/3/18 (casual pace, no drop/rolling hills w/occasional long or steep/18 miles)

We will meet Rachel at the parking lot at Chocorua Lake. Heading south on Route 16, the lake will be on your right. Take a right onto Chocorua Lake Road, a dirt road that goes between two sections of the lake, it is the road with the scenic bridge with a lake view. After you turn onto Chocorua Lake Road, there is a parking lot to the left side, before the bridge. A porta potty is there, too.

Meet there, ready to ride, at 10:00 am. 

Bring snacks or lunch to enjoy long the river. The stores are not open yet.
