Spring Kickoff Ride – Seacoast Greenway + Airfield Café Patio Lunch
Details
Let’s kick off the 2026 riding season the right way — shaking off the winter legs, getting some miles in, and enjoying a great ride together.
This is one of those rides that blends everything we enjoy: fresh air, good conversation, smooth riding, and an optional post-ride lunch if you’re up for it.

Bruce and I will start our journey in North Hampton from the old DPW parking lot (see PIN) next to Cap World and ride north for about 8.5 miles to Barberry Street, with a stop at the Portsmouth skatepark.
We’ll take a short water/snack break there (and grab a group photo 📸), then head back with our sights set on the Airfield Café.
Flat, safe, and relaxed — perfect for getting back into the rhythm of the season and riding as a group.
No pressure on pace… just good miles, good people, and a solid start to the season.
Optional Post-Ride Lunch – Airfield Café
For anyone interested, we’ll roll over to the Airfield Café after the ride.
Great food, outdoor patio, and always a fun spot to hang out and watch the planes come and go ✈️
👉 We’ll aim to arrive around 1230 PM (they close at 2 PM), so we’ll keep a steady roll on the return.
They support separate checks and Apple Pay You can bike over or drive.
