NEW DATE -June 15

Join the Vermont and New Hampshire Sierra Club, and  Upper Valley E-Bike Initiative(UVEBI is an affiliate of the Bike/Walk/Alliance of NH (BWANH). on a casual bike ride from Norwich, VT, to Thetford along U.S. Route 5, and then return through NH. 

We will start in Norwich and bike to the Cedar Circle Farms and Education Center in Thetford. There is a cafe at the farm, so we'll allow a rest time beverage and snack. After our break, we will bike across the Connecticut River at Lyme, NH, then bike to Hanover, NH, before returning to stop at the Norwich Farmer's Market. ( See the Northbound route and Southbound route.)

We request people arrive between 9:30am and  9:45 am, as we plan the ride leaving at 10:00 am.

This route has pretty views of the Connecticut River and is not overly hilly. The Sierra Club has been working with community leaders to designate the length of US Route 5 in Vermont as a dedicated bike corridor, so come join us on this scenic stretch of road we hope to develop a dedicated bike corridor.

We welcome those with E-bikes to join us.

**Registration is requested because we have had to cancel previously due to rain and an injury; we had to cancel this ride at the last minute.**

Level: Moderate
