from Seacoast Area Bicycle Routes:

Saturday, September 20th is the official opening of the NH Seacoast Greenway, the first border-to-border marked route for the East Coast Greenway (ECG) in any state. To celebrate there will be two rides on the Greenway’s newly signed on-road route and a family walk in Portsmouth, all converging at Strawbery Banke Museum for a dedication ceremony at Noon.

The NH Seacoast Greenway is New Hampshire’s segment of the East Coast Greenway, envisioned to be an all-season, multi-use trail extending 3,000 miles through 25 cities along the East Coast from Calais, ME to Key West, FL – an urban Appalachian Trail.

The Inaugural is part of a full weekend of bicycling events in the Seacoast, including the Tri-State Seacoast Century Ride on September 20th and 21st, which will bring more than 1,600 riders to the area for their featured 100 mile ride and the Portsmouth Criterium bicycle race in Portsmouth’s Market Square on Sunday, September 21st, featuring some of the top pro riders in the country plus a slate of kids races and a lifestyle expo, annually drawing over 7,000 spectators.

It’s Bike Week(end) in the Seacoast! Come on out and celebrate the bicycle.

BTW: I will be among the volunteers this weekend (September 20-21) for the Granite State Wheelmen’s 35th Tri-State Seacoast Century - If you are doing any part of the ride look for me at Fort McClary on Saturday from 12-4.
