You know you're going to eat too much on Thanksgiving. You want to be good, but you're grab that extra turkey leg and an extra piece of pie.

Now what? Are you going to sit on the couch on Friday? Are you going shopping at a mall?

Better idea. Join me, jump on your bike and burn off some of those calories. 20 miles, 40 miles, and metric. Maybe I'll put together a full century is there is enough interest. 

Back by popular demand and previously led by Phillip Stern, CRW's edition of the Kearsage Klassic!  Come enjoy hard packed gravel and dirt roads, some stout climbing and hopefully peak fall foliage on this classic NH gravel ride. 
 

Start/Finish: Warner Park and Ride (off I-89 exit 9 in New Hampshire)

Stops: mile 21: JJ's / Irving; mile 38: Dunkins

The Kearsarge Klassic Dirt Road Randonee is a challenging bike ride in central New Hampshire that circumnavigates Mt. Kearsarge primarily on dirt roads.
The dirt roads and secondary paved roads are traffic-free (for the most part), hilly, scenic, twisty, and just plain fun.
Although the route is mostly town-maintained dirt roads, conditions can vary from smooth dirt to loose and rocky gravel. For this reason, it is strongly recommended that riders be properly prepared and use a gravel bike or cyclocross bike with tires of at least 32mm width. Riders are also encouraged to carry spare tubes.
The roads traverse many of the properties conserved by the Ausbon Sargent Land Preservation Trust.
For more information see https://www.ausbonsargent.org/

The CRW route is based on the Kearsarge Klassic 55 Mile Route

RAIN DATE FOR TUES 9/13 RIDE. PLEASE RE-REGISTER! A variation on the Praline Croissant ride, but faster and longer. With less bike path, no Horn Pond dog dodging, and an additional loop around Mystic Lakes, this ride is for women looking for a quicker pace (15+ mph) and paceline work. The ride is show-and-go and will not necessarily regroup if riders are dropped.
