Driving directions to the location and spot to meet at:

(SLIGHTLY) FURTHER REVISED DIRECTIONS 6/15:

From Boston and points south: Take I-93 north to exit 17* for US 3/US 4 west Penacook/Boscawen. When US 3 and 4 diverge, follow rt. 4. Continue on rt. 4 for about 13 miles to Plains Rd., and turn right. In about 1.5 miles, turn right on NH 11 east. Continue for about 1.5 miles, **watching for Barton’s Performance auto shop then Applecrest Lane on your right. Just after Applecrest, turn left on Channel Rd. (Note: Applecrest loops back to rt. 11. If you pass Applecrest a second time, or come to the intersection with Maple St. and Chase Hill Rd., you’ve gone too far.) You’ll immediately come to the bike trail. Turn left onto the trail itself, and park next to it. Watch for pedestrians and bikers!

From Vermont and points northwest: Take I-89 south to exit 11* (in NH) for NH 11/King Hill Road. Follow rt. 11 east about 12 miles. Follow directions from** above.

From Europe, Asia, Australia, or Antarctica: Fly to Logan Airport, rent a car, and follow directions above. :))

*Note: Sequential interstate highway exits are being replaced by driving-distance exit numbers nationwide. This exit number may no longer be correct on the date of the trip.
