Friends joined me to cycle a loop starting and ending in Andover, Maine.

East B Hill Road out of Andover had construction and includes some serious climbing.

Then the route turned onto Rte. 26 and headed south to Grafton Notch.

And then through the Notch.

And then down into the valley in Newry.

Then the route took US Rte. 2 East. And to go back to Andover we turned onto Rte. 5 north and then detoured through the Lovejoy Covered Bridge.

And then the rain started. For the last four miles back into Andover.
