Road Rides Eight Great Rides

There are no shortage of paved options for valley road cyclists. Advanced riders can gain some serious elevation while families can roll along on the more gentler terrain even stopping for a picnic or swim. What are some of the valley's greatest roads? That’s open to debate. But here's my list of eight great roads for valley rides:

1. The Kanc. The Kancamagus Highway celebrated its 50th birthday in August 2009. The sight for more than 25 years of a May time trial, the 34-mile winding road offers some serious elevation, about 2,350 feet from the Conway side to the height of land at Kancamagus Pass in about 22 miles. Pedal all or some of the famous road.
