We have put together an amazing road biking weekend that is sure to be the topic of conversation when you go back to work on Monday.

All you need for this trip is a bike, some basic gear and a sense of adventure! Leave work on Friday, make the drive to the charming Cranmore Mountain Lodge and let us show you the best of the White Mountains. No need to buy maps, risk getting lost or miss out on the many local favorite cycling spots. We’ve done the work, now come let us show you around.

Our weekends are designed to challenge any level of rider, with trips divided into three categories; easy/moderate, moderate or strenuous. Saturday's ride will be determined by a group decision the week leading up to the trip. Based on the first ride the group can decide on Sunday's ride after returning to the lodge Saturday evening. We have many different routes around the area, each offering beautiful mountain and valley views, and lots of local charm.

Check-in will be Friday night, after 3pm and before 9pm, at the Cranmore Mountain Lodge, located just minutes from the lively downtown of North Conway. Friday and Saturday night you will be on your own for dinner and entertainment. There are many great spots in town to satisfy any taste and fill up before a full day of spectacular riding. Saturday and Sunday morning we will meet after a homemade breakfast at 9am in the game room of the lodge. We can go over any last minute details, put aside bags to meet us at lunch and saddle up for the day's ride!

Private dates can be arranged for larger groups. Give us a call to speak with a guide for more information, or book your next trip right online with a $150 deposit
