We've been blessed with beautiful weather this fall - so get out and get in some late season rides!
I've been doing a lot of mountain biking - at both Gunstock and Ahern State Park . The Central New Hampshire NEMBA did a great job with its trail maintenance day at Ahern earlier in November. If you haven't riden Ahern, check it out! ( I just got my hands on a hand-drawn map of the trails at Ahern - I'll get it scanned in and posted to the site soon).
Most of the trails at Gunstock are also in great shape - but stay away from the Maple trail - its all torn up from construction equipment and the mud goes up to your hubs (I speak from personal experience with a spectacular faceplant in the mud that resulted in my bike sticking out of the mud upside down!)
I've also heard that the riding at Franklin Falls continues to be great. I expect to be riding my mountain bike until the snow gets too deep - hope to see you out there too!
Road riders have also been out. I saw a group of three riders tackling the Timberman Triathlon bicycle route the other day - it was cold out but they looked well dressed. If you've moth-balled your road bike for the year - you might want to take it out for another couple of rides before the winter weather rolls in (it will get here eventually....)
Amd finally, for those of you who are looking for great deals on bicycle gear, the Pearl Izumi outlet store in North Conway has announced 40% off their already discounted pricing starting at midnight on Thanksgiving and running until 7:59am. They have other discounts throughout Black Friday and the weekend. To view the entire add, use this link .
Wishing you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving - and urging you to get out and ride after the holiday - you'll be glad you did!
