Let’s ride the Bruce Freeman Trail

Bruce freeman trail

I'm looking for one or two other bike riders to bike the Northern Rail Trail from Lebanon NH to the end of the trail in Boscawen, NH. It totals about 58-60 miles. I'm figuring it'll take about 7-8 hours of riding plus stop times. I will have a friend meet us at designated stops along the way for breaks. I have biked the upper half of the trail from Lebanon to Danbury. It was a beautiful ride with good trail surface. The length of the ride was about 27.3 miles and a ride time of 3.5 hrs of ride time. Avg speed was 7.7mph and max speed was 19mph. I plan on completing the second half from Danbury to Boscawen within the next few weeks. I'll keep you posted. If your interested or have questions feel free to call me. It should be a really great biking challenge. I'm really looking forward to this.

**Posted Update: Danbury to Boscawen 6/21/25**
We started the second half ride of this trail in Danbury. The trail surface was excellent for a gravel trail. Lots of nice views and wildlife along the was saw a deer on the trail about halfway. It was great. The weather for the day was good. It was cool and refreshing. Great for riding. We took several water stops along the way and made this a real casual ride. This portion of the trail has a slight downhill grade which made it even more enjoyable. On a scale of 10 I would rate this trail an 8-9. Can't wait to do the full length of the trail in Sept.
