BLT North is a short, low-lying mountain biking route in New Hampshire, set within the Forest Ridge OSA. The climb is a 0.42-mile out-and-back with a total of 30 feet of elevation gain and 30 feet of loss, so it's essentially flat ground to ride, and the route starts and ends near the same elevation of about 163 feet. The most comfortable time to ride is late spring through early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Epping show September highs around 73°F with lows near 50°F, while June runs about 76°F by day and 54°F at night. Powerline is just 0.1 mile away, and BLT South and Bridges are each about 0.3 mile off. For climbers, Wilson Boulder sits about 0.3 mile from the route.
