White Mountain Bicycle Week 2023
Saturday, May 27th through Saturday, June 3rd
Scenic paved paths, cross-country routes, road rides, and dirt berms, the White Mountains of New Hampshire are home to an array of bike adventures. During White Mountain Bicycle Week – the other New Hampshire bike week – the communities of Lincoln, Woodstock and Franconia Notch celebrate the pleasures of pedaling in the great outdoors, while supporting regional non-profits.
A series of adventures and suggested rides will highlight the diverse biking opportunities in the area and encourage all to get outside and ride. Avid cyclists, young families, downhill riders and more will find opportunities to get pedaling at their own pace.
White Mountain Bicycle Week is built on the principle to bike for the better. Many of the activities throughout the week will benefit non-profit organizations that support the nearby community like The Bridge Project and Lincoln Woodstock Friends of Recreation. By simply getting outside, participants will be making a difference in the community.
