BIKING AROUND OSSIPEE LAKE (NH)

Details

Please join me for a 35 mile late-summer ride around Ossipee Lake.  The terrain is largely rolling countryside so not very hilly but you do need to be able to ride the 35 miles - there'll be no sag wagon.  We'll depart from Center Ossipee, ride through Effingham and Freedom into West Ossipee and over to Tamworth Village where we'll have lunch at Tamworth Farmers' Market (or The Other Store cafe).  Return via Route 16 to Center Ossipee and a swim in the lake for those who might want.  The whole ride will be on paved or hard-packed surfaces so a road bike is fine.  Please bring a helmet and water; towel and bathing suit if you might go swimming.  We should be finished by 4PM.

Directions

TBD.  We'll meet within a mile of the junction of Route 25E and Route 16 in Center Ossipee but I need to determine the exact meeting spot depending upon how many people sign up.  I'll get specifics to everyone by Friday 30 August.

are you familiar with the road conditions? Is there typically a shoulder/break down lane? This is Labor day weekend and thinking the road could be rather busy!

Gaston: Yes, there'll some local traffic on the narrower roads without much of a shoulder but we've found most drivers to be considerate and give us some room. The busier roads (Routes 25 & 16) have nice wide shoulders. I've been doing this ride for 20 years and haven't had an accident or lost anyone yet. Cheers, Jon
