The “Five Hills in New Hampshire” route will depart and return to Jake Kassen’s house in Medford, MA and there will be an after ride hangout at the deck\/yard (weather permitting).<\/p>\n

This Brevet was first run in the fall of 2018 and is reminiscent of the old Boston 200k to New Boston & Brookline New Hampshire. The route is rolling through the Massachusetts sections with five notable climbs in New Hampshire. The route has approx. ~7000ft of climbing. \u00a0For 2025, we are able to incorporate the old New Boston 200k Mason and Brookline NH segments instead of doing Old Milford Rd the hard way (southbound). \u00a0There is ~0.9km of hard pack dirt on Starch Mill Rd in Mason that is unavoidable<\/strong>. \u00a0Please see RWGPS file for note.<\/p>\n

Parking Info:<\/strong> Park on street (either side) or in municipal lot at Governors Ave & High St.\u00a0 Please do not park in driveway.<\/p>\n
