Last September, Ausbon Sargent and the New Hampshire Cycling Club partnered for the inaugural Kearsarge Klassic (K2) Bike Event. Participant feedback was so overwhelmingly positive that we plan to repeat this recreational event in 2013. We encourage you to view the “Somerville Trio” blog at lovelybike.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-inaugural-kearsarge-klassic.html.

The bike ride has been planned to entice all levels of riders to take part. There is a family-friendly 30-mile route, a more aggressive 59-mile route and, for the avid, serious cyclist, an 86-mile route.

Registration and Directions: The event is limited to 200 participants. Riders may register for the event  at BikeReg.com/Net/18234. The fee is $80. The registration fee includes rest stops, lunch, food at the finish, and a complimentary Ausbon Sargent bandana for all finishers. Registration will be pre-registration only. No day-of registration.

All registered riders will be required to sign a release before participating in the event. Check in for the event will open at 7:30 AM at the New London Historical Society, 179 Little Sunapee Road in New London.
