At 10 AM on Saturday, October 3, the Friends of the Northern Rail Trail in Merrimack County (FNRT) will ride the Rail Trail from the Potter Place railway station in Andover for the sixth time to honor the memory of Peter Oren Crowell.

Peter Crowell, from New London, was instrumental in getting early portions of the Trail built.  His sons, Peter and Ben, have continued Peter’s tradition by making their compactor and grader available each year for trail resurfacing.

Crowell family members and FNRT fans of all ages are invited to join in a bike ride on the Rail Trail headed north towards Danbury for as long as they like.  The event will start with light refreshments at the Potter Place railway station in Andover at 10 AM. This is a family-friendly ride with the emphasis on getting on (and off) a bike rather then distance ridden.

There is no rain date. This is a rain-or-shine event. For more information, contact Alex Bernhard at 735-5071 or AABernhard@nullcomcast.net.
