Gilford Cycle Races... ? Old race track location.

oche16 · 11-06-2010, 06:17 PM

Hello gang,

New here., Im Steve F from Boston. Been coming to the Lakes Region since 1972.

We regularly ride up for Bike Week nowadays and stay at the Greystone in Gilford.

I have some old memorabilia from the 1946 mcy races held in "Belknap". I believe some of the shots show the Belknap recreation bldg as well. My question, Is there anyone on the board that knows the loction, old street names or perhaps diagrams or maps of the old Race Circuit used for the 50 and 100 mile races please?

Thanks in advance, fdnyladder7 comcast net

(ca1946 photo shows a hairpin turn, which is just before the starting line for the race). Also, just discovered that the area to the left is the foot of the current Bike Hill Climb event.
