Riding

We have riding for all seasons, including fat-tire riding in the winter, for all levels of riders, and for all types of riding whether you want to ride the mountain bike trails, roads or gravel.

 

We have three great trail networks that will challenge and excite any rider whether a beginner or an

advanced rider, whether you want to practice skills at the pumptrack or challenge yourself on some

great downhills (and climbs!) and everything in between. And all three networks are accessible for

adaptive riders – how cool is that!

Road Riding

We’re more than happy to help you customize a ride to your level and riding desire ,including adaptive rides –just e-mail us at

tritown.bikefriendlycommunity@gmail.com

and we’ll be more than happy to work with you.

Our road riding is fantastic and can be geared to any level of rider. Want lots of hills? We’ve got that –

we’re in the White Mountains! 

Want a softer ride? Believe it or not we have roads that are flat! Want a

long ride? There are great century rides? Don’t want to ride that much, well you’re in luck as there are plenty of shorter rides. And the routes? They’re all amazing with great views and places to stop, enjoy, or refuel along the way.

 

Gravel Riding

We’re more than happy to help you customize a ride to your level and riding desire ,including adaptive rides –just e-mail us at

tritown.bikefriendlycommunity@gmail.com

and we’ll be more than happy to work with you.

If you’re looking to get off the roads and ride some of the quieter gravel roads you’re coming to the right
place. We have miles and miles of unpaved roads that are great for riding, and like everything around
here, there are great views along the way! 

Fat Tire Riding

We’re more than happy to help you customize a ride to your level and riding desire ,including adaptive rides –just e-mail us at

tritown.bikefriendlycommunity@gmail.com

and we’ll be more than happy to work with you.

Across the three trail networks we groom almost 50 miles of trails for fat tire riding. Always check the networks for current conditions, but be sure to try them out. Fat tire riding, as one rider likes to say, “is like cheating nature.” It’s an amazing experience! If you’re new to mountain bike riding this is a great way to get started as the trails are smoothed over with the snow. And if you really want an amazing adventure, go fat tire riding at night – it’s magical and you’re almost certain to run into a few others having a great time too! But be sure to have the right lights.

And of course, if you have adaptive cycling needs, you are absolutely coming to the right place. Our
trails, roads, and gravel roads are fantastic for adaptive riding, and our partners at Adaptive Sports of
the North Country https://adaptivesportspartners.org/ will work with you to get you on a bike if you
need one, provide instructors and training if needed, or work with you in any way to get you on a bike
and enjoying the majestic White Mountains and North Country!

It's an incredible feeling of freedom to be able to bike from my house in downtown Littleton to access a network of mountain bike trails (PRKR) with beautiful forest and clear signage. We also have easy access to the rail trail and river walk in town. We feel very lucky to live here."

"Bethlehem Trails is a diverse network with something for everyone. My favorite route is to climb to the summit of Mt. Agassiz and descend all the way to the Ammonoosuc River.”

Kelly M

“I’ve enjoyed many on-trail conversations with visitors to the area who were just out and about enjoying the views and variety of challenges presented by the terrain.”

Dan C

these are the best trails in the Northeast; there’s something for everyone and they’re fun, flowy and great to ride”

Tony Q

“I love being able to have such a great choice of trails to ride year round – there’s so much to discover, and at the end be right in Town for a coffee, pastry or beer”

Bruce C

“It's more than a bike trail, it's an adventure! Rail trails, dirt roads, bike paths and quiet back roads link together an adventurous bike route from Woodsville, New Hampshire to Bethel, Maine traveling through the amazing Towns of Littleton and Bethlehem along the way. On the Cross New Hampshire Adventure Trail, cyclists of all ages can experience the glory of the northern New Hampshire landscape, learn about the natural and cultural history of the region and partake in the hospitality of the many small towns along the way.”

Bob H

“The road riding in the Tri-Town region is amazing. Great routes – challenging or easy, but all with great views along the way, great support if you need it, and great places to stop and refuel or end with a great beer. It’s fantastic!”

Rick J

“Three great but distinctly different trail systems within 10 minutes of each other for some great mountain biking and a coffee shop and brewery near each one.”

Dave H

“I love the wide variety of mountain biking trails that are fun for beginners and experts alike. As an experienced rider, there are plenty of harder trails to challenge me. I also enjoy swinging by the Franconia Inn after a long ride for a cold drink and a bite to eat!”

Andrew

 We are spoiled to live in the white mountains. Being able to ride out my front door to do a gravel ride on stone walled lined dirt roads throughout the area or a ride through the notches on my road bike, other days I grab my mountain bike and ride some of the technical terrain in the White Mountain National Forest. This is the privilege of living where we do.
