Kensington NH in early November

In honor of a former club president with a thing for classic tunes, “Twist and Shout” does its fair share of gyrations! For the cooler weather season, this is a shortened 34 mile take. The majority of the route is along quiet and somewhat hilly country roads, with a good refueling stop at Jones General Store in Kingston (mile 18). Historic homes are a common feature along the way. On Willow Rd in East Kingston we’ll pass one of the oldest farms around - Fieldstone Farm, dating from 1690. Kingston was originally granted to 15 fortunate men by King William and Queen Mary of England in 1694.

Post-ride lunch and libations at Flatbreads or The Barking Dog (Crave isn't open for lunch at this time of year).
