Biking is a popular pastime here in the Mt. Washington Valley and you'll see cyclists everywhere on the roads from Spring into late Fall. Mountain Biking is also popular with several trails nearby from easy through to challenging. Check with Derrek while you're here for the best rides - he's our resident bike expert and can tell you exactly what conditions are like.

• Redtail trail from Black Cap (drive to trail head) is a good single track, also for advanced mountain bikers

• Great Glen Outdoor Center has trails to suit all abilities and some stunning rides through spectacular scenery

• Bike along country roads between the villages of Maine and New Hampshire

• For those with more ambition (not to mention fitness), the "Crank the Kanc" time trial cycle race is held every year in May. Register early though as the field is limited to 180 riders.
