Even though I rarely repeat myself on Rail Trail visits, the Hop River Trail is so great I came back for a repeat ride - this time in the opposite direction: from Bolton Notch back to Manchester. (Previous ride on this section - Sunday, June 13, 2021)
I had the morning free and fortunately the weather was gorgeous and sunny for most of my ride.

At the Dobson mills
This section of the trail--back near the Bolton Notch parking lot, where the stream parallels the trail--is mighty rough--the bike was really shaking as I rode it!
