In the early 2000s, my friends and I biked 5 miles on Route 153 from Conway Village to Eaton to swim at Crystal Lake. After a ½ mile swim, we’d dry off and ride back to Conway. We were training for a Danskin Woman’s Triathlon.

Despite the narrow road, we didn’t worry much about vehicles. There was less traffic and big trucks, and people drove at reasonable speeds. That changed when traffic was detoured around Route 16 construction near Ossipee a few years ago. The detour route used Route 25 and Route 153 to get traffic to Conway.
