We'll plan to regroup at the top of hills and long climbs, For anyone needing to refill water bottles or use facilities we can stop at mile 23, 36 and/or 39 if necessary. Please only sign up if you're confident in your ability to maintain at least a 15 mph rolling average for 15 mile intervals.

This is an out and back going from Salisbury Beach to Portsmouth NH.

This is very flat route which pretty much goes along the coast almost the whole way. After, we can grab some lunch in Portsmouth before heading back the way we came.

Any road bike, gravel bike, hybrid is sufficient for this ride.

Average speed will be between 12-15 mph

I will be riding my commuter 29er that I use for ultra endurance/all road time trials and gravel rides/races.

We will meet in the big parking area on the right-hand side as you come into Salisbury.
