Day 1: Woodsville to Littleton
Cycling: 20 Miles
From our rendezvous spot at Cannon Mountain Recreation Area, we shuttle to the western trailhead for the XNHAT. At the trailhead we’ll have a short ride orientation and lunch then it’s on the bikes as we hit the trail taking in the spectacular scenery as we make our way to charming Littleton for our overnight in Historic Thayer’s Inn and a fun group dinner social.
Day 2: Littleton to Gorham
Cycling: 37 Miles
After a great breakfast, it’s on the bikes and back on the trail. The panoramic views of the famous Presidential Mountains are truly awe-inspiring, as are the views into the lush and colorful valleys, dissected by sparkling rivers and streams. At approximately mile 17.5 you come to Cherry Pond Natural Area where you can park your bike and enjoy lunch in this tranquil site before continuing on to Gorham and your stop for the evening.
Day 3: Gorham to Bethel Maine
Cycling: 25 Miles
We set out for our last day as we make our way to the New Hampshire & Maine border. The beauty and solitude of this last section allows you to get lost in your thoughts and to find a true appreciation for the boundless beauty that is New Hampshire. You cross the border just shy of mile 12, and from there much of your ride is on quiet back roads with little to no traffic, but with miles of stellar scenery. You’ll continue on to trail’s end in Bethel where your trusty guide is there to meet you and to treat you to a celebratory lunch at locally famous Butcher Burger!
