The way points of this bicycle route:
If you need to park, use the lot across the street from the library. Start at Pleasant and Main by heading SW on S Pleasant St
Left onto Old Main for a VERY brief jog
Immediate right at the cemetary onto Bog Road
At the top of the climb, turn right onto King Hill Road
At the stop sign, turn left onto 103A Southbound
Start climbing Grace Hill; entering Newbury
Left onto Chalk Pond Road.
Right onto Newbury Road
Stay right onto Newbury/Old Newbury Road (it's the obvious throughway here)
Stay left onto Sutton Road.
Right onto 103. A couple of tough, false-flat miles into Newbury Harbor
If you need anything for your bike, cross the street to Outspokin'. Tell Will that Steve sent you. Otherwise, bear slightly left to follow 103
Straight on through the traffic circle to keep going on 103. Some people turn right here but I prefer the road surface and the couple of extra (flat) miles you get if you keep on going.
Hammer the flat for the next few miles
Bear right to pick up rt 11 NW to Sunapee, Georges Mills, and New London
Once you're past 103B, take your next right onto Main St, then up the hill into Sunapee Harbor
Keep going straight
If you feel like it, grab coffee and a snack at Marzelli's Deli on your right. If not, take a sharp left at the bottom of the hill onto Garnet Street
Watch the road surface through here. It's kinda rough, but not for long.
Right after Dewey Beach, turn right onto Jobs Creek
Don't miss the right onto Garnet Hill. This is a nice little loop off of the "main" road through here.
Right to get back onto Jobs Creek. Watch this turn since you have lousy visibility to the left.
Enjoy the descent. You've got a good view of any traffic at the next intersection, so don't be afraid to crank through here.
Right to get back onto Route 11
Watch the road surface and traffic for the next mile.
Right onto 103A Southbound again
Left onto Page Road
Left onto County Road
Right onto Tracy Road
Left onto King Hill Road again. But you're NOT going back the way you came, so DON'T take the next left onto Bog Road
Slow down as you come under the highway, you're about to take a sharp right.
Right onto Hominy Pot. Lovely road!
This isn't really an intersection. Just keep going; don't worry about the street changing names to Kezar St.
Look out to the left, but don't stop if you don't have to (it's only a yield sign!). Turn right onto 114 South
Left at the Police and Fire stations (across from each other) onto North Road, towards I-89
Left to stay on North Road, then under the highway
Left onto Shaker Road. Enjoy the up and down!
Left onto Route 11. Be patient if there's traffic
Right onto Seaman's Road. You'll be climbing for a mile.
At the police station, turn right onto Main St.
Finish at Pleasant and Main
