Description: The Spring Century was held last Sunday on a very soggy day. If you missed it, here's a second chance to ride the route and do either 100, 62 or 50 miles. The ride will not be supported with water stops and the like, but good weather is forecast. Join us on one of three beautiful routes on slightly rolling rural roads through the Merrimack Valley of northeastern Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire. Our 100 mile ride will take you through Exeter and Hampton Falls, NH. The other routes travel through such towns as Boxford, Groveland and Topsfield. All routes pass through the Harold Parker State Forest.
