Weekend Snapshot

On the Swamp Donkey Dash route in the Franconia Notch area. The singletrack trails coming down from this view are world-class backcountry that seem to go on forever. The whole area around Franconia, Littleton, and Bethlehem is filled with steep, rocky, and rooty remote goodness.

What’s better than new friends? New friends who also packraft! Rebecca and I took advantage of a tailwind and paddled seven kilometers up Powell Lake to a portage neither of us had been to before. We packed our rafts onto our bikes, pushed our way over to Inland Lake, and pedaled the 20 kilometers home. Midweek adventures like these, starting and ending at my front door, remind me why I love living here.

Mihalgazi, Turkiye

Weekend Snapshot

By Molly Beilstein

Being moved on at 8 p.m. with a mama bear and cub warning, mixed with a caution of wild boar, before a big day of riding is never easy. But rolling down the valley toward a crown of cliffs was truly spectacular. We ended up sleeping in a city park, and at midnight a kind drunk man awoke us, offering kebabs.
