As the tire commercials say, “it was a scorcher!” Seven of us gathered on the hottest day of the year so far to ride from Salem NH to Derry NH, about 20 mikes round trip. Fortunately this trail is mostly shaded which drops the temperature and we also biked through some rock cuts in Windham NH which drops the temperature about 10 degrees or more. The trail wasn’t very busy which made for an enjoyable ride. Reaching Hood Park in Derry we stopped for a picnic lunch before returning to Salem. And an additional bonus is that there’s a mostly downward gradient on the return making for an easy ride.
