There’s a classic road ride loop in Tamworth that local cyclists have been riding for years-the Wonalancet loop. A local bicycling club, Mount Washington Valley Bicycling Club, posted rides there often in early spring, summer, and fall. It’s a ride that appeals to many cyclists. Rides are always well attended.

It’s been awhile since I’ve seen a bike club post about a Wonalancet Loop ride. I think my last one was in the fall of 2021. When I saw the post last week by Rachel Anderson, a club member and Tamworth resident, I knew I had to go.
