N89er - New London Four Lakes Ride

Details

N89ers- ride - 27 miles, more challenging. Elkins to New London portion has 800 ft of elevation gain. Big long hill, but not especially steep!

You could start at the bandstand in New London and join the group about 35 minutes after the start of the ride in Elkins. The ride then would be classed as easy to moderate with incredibly long downhills.

But, you would still have the long hill ride back to New London unless you had a ride with someone or you staged another vehicle.

Parking is at the Masonic Hall Parking lot across from the Bandstand in Elkins.

Ride departs at 9:00 AM.

SAFETY FIRST!

This is a no-drop ride. Average pace will be 10-12 mph. 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. We will stop frequently for water breaks.
Bring a snack, water and of course your helmet, lights, and Road ID.
Rain cancels.
