Discover the beauty of New Hampshire’s rail trails by bike: A National Bike Month Celebration!

Since May is National Bike Month, the Bike-Walk Alliance of New Hampshire is looking to partner with bike clubs to provide guided bicycle tours along the Granite State’s breathtaking rail trails and scenic byways. If you want to host a ride, please complete the form here.

Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist, new to biking, or returning to it, these tours are designed to ignite your sense of adventure and showcase New Hampshire’s natural beauty.

Throughout May, a different rail trail or byway will be highlighted, allowing participants to explore various landscapes and historical sites. These guided tours are perfect for those new to cycling, uncertain about rail trails or roads, or just wanting to get out with a fun group of cyclists! They will provide a safe and supportive environment to learn about cycling, trail and road etiquette, and the rich history of these scenic routes.
