Come join your fellow club members for a ride from Groveland through the New Hampshire / Massachusetts borderlands, where NSC rides rarely venture.
All three rides are somewhat shorter than the usual Sunday morning options to allow riders more time to return to Groveland for our fall picnic and to spend time with other NSC members.
All routes begin at the Pines Recreation Area in Groveland, cross the mighty Merrimack via the Bates bridge, and head north together past the Whittier Homestead into NH.
The 27 mile route continues through Newton, NH, before returning to the Merrimack valley.
The 35 and 47 split from the short route just before mile 10 to continue northwest through South Danville, where, at mile 14.7, the 35 splits from the 47 and heads back to the start while the 47 continues farther north to Kingston before starting its return.
All three routes rejoin on Amesbury Road near Tuxbury Pond and then traverse the eastern shore of Lake Attitash and the north side of the Merrimack before crossing the Rocks Village bridge and returning to the start in Groveland.
Please have your bikes and selves ready for the pre-ride talk 15 minutes prior to the departure for the route you are riding.
