Sometimes, you get in a rut and forget to explore other options. Lately, I’ve been on a predictable schedule of completing my column on Thursday mornings. That means I’m always too busy on Thursdays to go on Marianne’s Thursday rides. Cycling-wise, I’ve been primarily riding my mountain bike…
A Devellian will be cycling up the Rockpile during next month’s Mt. Washington Auto Road Bicycle Hillclimb.
It’s been years since I’ve mountain bike raced. The last time was in Whitaker Woods in the Red Jersey Summer Race Series. That fateful last race resulted in an evasive move that tossed me to the ground and broke my wrist. After that, I was done with racing!
Just like there are citizen ski racers who shouldn’t be caught dead wearing a tight-fitting onesie GS suit, there are two-wheeling citizens who shouldn’t be allowed out of the house wearing lycra cycling shorts or tops. These garments, on the wrong sort of overweight human being, don’t leave…
ALBANY — Tin Mountain Conservation Center will be welcoming cyclists to participate in the 2021 Mt. Washington Century+ bike events. This year’s main event will once again be an unsupported Alternative Century+.
At some point in your life, you’ll come to the realization you can’t do what you did when you were young. You can’t ride as fast and as far as you once did. Those hills you once climbed with ease are daunting. That single-track and obstacles you once hopped over stop you in your tracks. Your…

Looking for a place to ride with your family this Fourth of July weekend? Want a place that’s low or no traffic, relatively easy riding and scenic and shady? Try riding the gravel roads of the valley.
Nap time is prime time for Georgia Gould. Not that the 2012 London Olympic bronze medalist in cross-country mountain biking needs one. But when her two young children are taking siestas, the mountain biking mom hurries to hammer the miles.
Monday, I broke two of my hot weather riding rules. First, I went mountain biking in the hottest part of the day — 90 degrees and humid! Second, instead of taking it easy, I cranked up a steep trail. What was I thinking?
As if on cue, two loons glided across the surface of the northern New Hampshire bog pond in the spruce-fir forested conservation land. They hadn’t been waiting for us, a couple of gravel road spinning cyclists, but it sure looked that way. The pair skimmed along East Inlet in Pittsburg just …
Ever gone back to an old familiar place and found it had changed over time? Some of it was the same, but there was something new going on, too. That’s the feeling I had when I visited Bartlett’s Thorne Pond Conservation area on Tuesday. I recognized old trails but found new ones that made ri…
Around seven or so years ago, John Davidson had one of his epiphanies.
Editor's Note: After deadline, the Sun learned Potter Road will be closed at the Route 153 end at the end of June until sometime in September. They're replacing the bridge at that end so no one will be able to cross. We want to let riders know they'll have to bypass that end.
Bikers are out en masse, enjoying special events and lending helping hands, too.
A group of cyclists gathered in the Fryeburg Visitor Center’s parking lot, ready to ride. Tooling Tuesday’s ride leader Denise Jaronski called them together to explain the route and options along the way. She reassured riders that the group would wait for them if they fell behind. At turns a…
