This week's ride is a mix of hard packed rail trail and a few urban miles through Portsmouth to the rolling coastal views in Maine. I found my gravel bike most comfortable for the 16 miles of gravel rail trail, but it could be done on a road bike. There are category two options available in Fort Foster and some additional single track miles at the trails end in North Hampton.

Please be ready at 9:15 am for the safety talk and welcome for new members.

If you have any questions, please contact me at barrrb@comcast.net.
