The WOW Trail , the organization working on a rail trail in Laconia, NH, is holding its first annual WOWfest on September 19, 2009 to raise money for the construction and maintenance of the trail. If you're a bicycle rider, there are two rides that you won't want to miss - so mark your calendars now!
The Lake Challenge - a 67.2 mile ride around Lake Winnipesaukee.
The Bay Challenge - a 15 mile ride around Paugus Bay.
Both events have a $50 sign-up fee and there will be great give-aways for people who raise additional money for the trail.
There will also be a 2.5 mile Trail Fun Walk and an all-day festival with food, drinks, exhibits, etc.
The registration site is not live yet - but we wanted to give everyone a chance to reserve the date on their calendars - September 19, 2009!.
ATTENTION: There are still sponsorship opportunities available for this event (Lakes Region Bicycling has signed on as a t-shirt sponsor).
if you'd like to learn more about sponsorship opportunities and I'll send you the information.
We are actively looking for additional mountain bike rides in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire - can you help us out?
Please provide the following information (or as much information as you can) for each ride you submit:
General Location
Starting Point(s)
Where to park
Approximate Length
How difficult
Turn-by-Turn directions, or how to find the trail and not get lost....
We will take this information and create an entry on the site. Please let us know if you'd like credit for submitting the ride and we'll include your name.
We would like to thank the hundreds of people that stopped by our booth at the Mooseman Triathlon on June 5th and 6th . We had the opportunity to discuss bicycling in the Lakes Region with people from all over the northeast and Canada. We gave away hundreds of state bicycling maps too.
Also, a special thanks to everyone who made donations to the Norris Cotton Cancer center! We raised over $125 for the center and it will help support our participating in the Prouty bicycle tour on July 11th . If you weren't able to donate (most people don't have money in their bicycle shorts on race day!), please use this link to make a secure online donation .
The next event we will be exhibiting at is the Timberman Triathlon on August 21-22nd . Stop by and say "Hello" and pick up your free NH Bicycling Maps. We may even have some Lakes Region Bicycling items available with our new logo !
