Details
This ride departs at 9am. We’re riding together as a group, but on the beach, everyone can ride at his/her own pace; no one will get dropped, we re-group periodically. There are some roads connecting beaches and trails. The ride up starts with beaches, then shoots over to a nice off-road trail that’s mostly dirt (could be ice on this), the ride back after lunch is down the coast on lots of beaches and roads connecting the beaches. The ride runs this direction due to low tide, riders get more beach this way!
Studded tires are required. The trail section from Portsmouth back to the start may have snow and ice on it. We want to play it safe. Besides, everyone should already be running your studded tires so don’t want anyone feeling out of place.
Schedule
We’ll be at the parking lot by 8:45am. Please be ready to roll by 8:55am.
Parking
There is free all day parking in a large parking lot right across from the first beach. All RSVPs receive the route and exact parking directions.
Route
The route will be shared via email with all who RSVP.
Estimated time
It will be ~6 hours rolling time, add 2+ hours for stopped time. BRING LIGHTS, good chance it’s dusk or dark by the time the ride is done.
Lunch Stop
Lunch is in Portsmouth. Bring food or money to eat here. It’s a big day, food will taste good at this point!
