Salem Bike-Ped Corridor

The north is a great RT and the south funs along a major shopping highway

November, 2024 by georgerisktaker

Trail connects seamlessly to Windham RT and Methuen RT and these two trails have connections to Derry RT and Spicket River Greenway for a total of 18.75 miles of connected trail.

The northern part of trail is like Windham (excellent), but southern part of trail (1-mile) runs along highway 28 and is not good hardpack (a black dirt gravel).  The trail is wide and protected from vehicles but there are lots of stops to let cars depart from stores along the route (lots of button pushing at traffic lights).

Rockingham Recreational Rail Trail (Portsmouth Branch)

One of the best in the state

November, 2024 by georgerisktaker

Did on e-bikes with 2" tires in early October. Done in 2-segments of 14 miles each (started in Newfields and then in Manchester and worked way to middle). From Manchester there are several lakes/ponds, so it is more scenic.  Also, this segment has three railbed passes beneath the roads. You can stay on your bike for all but one - watch your head! Also the lead up and down to these tunnels is steep, so get some speed going up to them. From Newfield there are places to eat about 12 miles in.    The trail is mostly crushed stone & some dirt.

Piscataquog Trail

Short trail but a great connector to Goffstown RT

November, 2024 by georgerisktaker

Started at Delta Dental baseball stadium in Manchester.  Look to quickly go over river and i93 on 2 great bridges.  Seamless into Goffstown Rail Trail.

Windham Rail Trail

The best of three connected trails

November, 2024 by georgerisktaker

Part of an excellent run of connected trails including Derry and Salem Bike-Ped. Wide trail with great scenery including water.

Londonderry Rail Trail

One of the best!

November, 2024 by georgerisktaker

Excellent paved trail. Like Derry it can have lots of people.  Go during non-peak hours. Too bad it doesn't connect to another trail.  We went ¼ mile south of paved trail which was not bad (could only average 8-10 mph and reversed course at a rutted bridge.  One of the best finds of October (we did 24 trails).

Goffstown Rail Trail

Fantastic trail in every way

November, 2024 by georgerisktaker

Great views along the river.  Great connections to Piscataquog and Heritage trails.  Surprised how quickly we got out of Manchester (started at Delta Dental baseball stadium - this may be on one of the other trails).  Variety of scenery. 

Derry Rail Trail

Part of a great run of connected trails

November, 2024 by georgerisktaker

Excellent and scenic trail. It starts just north of town.  Great connection to Windham Rail Trail.  Avoid peek exercise times as many visit this trail.

Common Pathway

Nice trail ride with a great finishing destination

November, 2024 by georgerisktaker

The Common Pathway is also called the Peterborough RT. This RT adjoins the Old Railroad Trail and is about 5 miles north of Monadnock RT (we did all 3 trails the same day). The trail is mostly crushed stone but some asphalt as well as road ride. Some rough spots but no issue. Started at Trailhead for Old Railroad Trail and headed toward Peterborough. It is a nice town with several good eating and drinking places. Good trail and the Contoocook River runs along most of the trail. We did not do the trail south of Peterborough as it went from town, along 202 (traffic at 50+ mph) and was not reviewed as being an interesting ride.

Old Railroad Trail

Rustic and bumpy deep woods ride (good feel)

November, 2024 by georgerisktaker

e-Bike with 2" tires. The trail adjoins Peterborough (Common Path) RT. Rough trail with roots and rocks, so speeds above 10 are impossible to maintain. On a positive note, you really feel like you are in the woods. We were able to go slightly longer than the miles posted. A tiring short ride, but doable. Wife hated it, as too bumpy. Recommendation: ride Peterborough (Common Path) first as it is much easier.

Monadnock Recreational Rail Trail

Monadnock Recreational Rail Trail

November, 2024 by georgerisktaker

Biked with e-bikes 2" tires. From the north going south (American Legion Baseball Field). Mostly crushed stone trail. Feels like a rail trail - level and wide. Only one rough area (RR ties and rocks for about 10 yds). The water on the left of the trail looked like it was drying up (no smell) and there was at least one nice lake (average views). Part of the trail runs along the highway. Only rode 5 miles as we didn't go much south of 202 (exceedingly difficult crossing at rush hour - be careful). Some of the reviews of the area south of where we rode indicate more difficult terain.

Brookline Rail Trail

Brookline Rail Trail

November, 2024 by georgerisktaker

Rustic dirt trail that is like Granite Town RT (is a little easier) as it is dirt and connects with it.  We quit at the Teva section as signs were posted "Private Property," even though camp was not in session. 

Dover Community Trail

One Trail with two distinct characteristics

November, 2024 by georgerisktaker

Biked in October on e-bikes with 2" tires. From 33 Chestnut St (Dover).  Went S (1 mile) and back then N (3 miles) and back.  South is as much town as trail and is well paved.  It also is tricky to find your way on the trail as it goes through the back of stores. We found someone to follow.  The trip north is mostly dirt terrain and has many rocks and sewer caps.  The trail varied from narrow to wide and had 2-spots where continuance was difficult to find, including spots by the bridge and a private drive (trail is on right of fence).  You cannot maintain speeds over 12 mph on this part of the trail. Whereas, I didn't mind picking my way through the terrain, my wife hated it.
