Biking the Whites
Could you endure three days of biking from one great inn to the next with only gourmet food and a 12-speed bike to sustain you? The group of seven that decided to take this test was gathered at the Tamworth Inn. Soon our cares and our luggage were to be transported to the starting point at the Forest Inn in…

Thumbs Down I have only infrequently read your magazine (and enjoyed it), so I don’t know if Chris Dornin is a regular contributor. I sincerely hope not.
