Monday Ride - Contoocook and Henniker

A 19 mile Contoocook to Henniker out and back. We'll make a brief rest and snack stop in Henniker. Upon returning to Contoocook we can adjourn to the Every Day Café for coffee or lunch.

Climbing the West Hopkinton Dam is a short grunt, but otherwise the route is fairly easy. We cross route 202 / 9 twice where caution is necessary. Do not rely upon others to make your crossing decisions for you; use your own best judgement.

Planned route: Contoocook - Henniker loop.
Organizer may modify the route as needed. Rain cancels.

Monday Ride Group Guidelines

• Expect a 11-12 mph average ride pace and 12-14+ mph level ground rolling speed ... plus or minus with hills and wind. Speeds will typically pick up a bit as the season progresses.
• While the ride is considered "no drop," riders are expected to make a reasonable effort to maintain the published pace to avoid significantly disrupting the group flow.

Program Note

• Monday rides will generally start from Contoocook every other week.
• Alternate weeks may start from various seacoast area locations, Belmont, Antrim, and others.
• Start times will generally shift to 9 AM as the season progresses.
• Monday rides will be on hiatus four Mondays during June and two during September.
• Others are welcomed to lead a Monday ride of their choosing for which listing and mapping support will be gladly provided.
