I will be out of town tomorrow but Theresa has agreed to be Bunny Wrangler, and she'd like to visit Wild Oats.
The temperature should be 64-68°, but the feels-like temps will stay in the low 60s the whole time, so dress accordingly. The wind will be northerly all day, so you'll earn your muffin on the way up and enjoy a fun ride back. There are multiple shortcuts, as usual, so pick your distance and come on along. Wheels roll at 8:00.
Tomorrow's weather looks pretty great, if a little breezy. We haven't been out to Bonny Eagle or Limington since Memorial Day, so I guess it's time.
The Bonny Eagle/Bar Mills loop is 53 miles. If people are looking for a little more, we can tack on an extra ten miles with a dog leg up to Limington, where we'll take a little breather in the Bonney Eagle Recreation Area.
Wheels roll at 8:00.
It looks like we'll have a cooler, drier morning tomorrow, so let's head up to Pownal for Roads Less Traveled; we haven't done this one in a while. The full route is 58 miles up to pretty North Pownal Rd. We could shave a few miles coming straight down Middle Rd (or a half a dozen other ways), or we can shoot back south from Pineland on North Road for 45.
Wheels roll at 8:00.
It's going to be beautiful tomorrow (finally) so a little distance seems in order. This was Theresa's Birthday Ride a couple years back, and we last rode it exactly a year ago (8/16), so I'm gonna say my gut is right to pick it again. The base map you know, but the addition down to Fortune's Rocks is the added bonus.
Wheels roll at 8:00, but be ready to dodge tourists and phone zombies in OOB.
I am doing the MS ride tomorrow so will be thinking of you fondly, but Bruce has agreed to be Guest Bunny Herder, and that means he gets to pick the course; he has picked Wild Oats.
The weather looks to be fantastic, so it should be a great day. There are multiple shortcuts, as usual, so pick your ride and come on along. Wheels roll at 8:00.
This Sunday is the rescheduled Four Notches ride and, at the risk of sounding like I'm just copying from last week (which I am) you should definitely be there, because why wouldn't you? But let's just say, again, for argument's sake, that you can't be, but still want to ride with friends, Theresa is here for you!
She'd like to do the 50-mile Salmon Falls ride, so here it is. Click that button and let her know that you're in.
Wheels roll at 8:00.
This Saturday is the Four Notches ride, and you should definitely be there, because why wouldn't you? But let's just say, for argument's sake, that you can't be, but still want to ride with friends. Then you would come here and hope to find a little something; and so you have.
I will be out of town and unhappily missing both, but Theresa will be here, so let her know if you're in. We're keeping it simple, as the weather seems uncertain.
Wheels roll at 8:00.
Tomorrow is supposed to be pretty perfect, so imagine my disappointment in not being able to ride with you. ðŸ˜
But the show must go on, so how about 50 miles out to Bar Mills? If you want a few more miles, add in Cape and/or go around the Eastern Prom (carefully: don't run over tourists--they hate that).
I have no bunny herder for the day, so play nice and don't lose anybody who doesn't have a map!
Wheels roll at 8:00.
Well, it's a hot one out there, so I'm thinking of something short and sweet--we don't want anyone fainting away on a holiday weekend!
I offer a choice: 35 miles around Highland Lake or Cape. We'll choose in the morning.
Pack both bottles; wheels roll at 8:00.
We've been north, we've been south, so it must be time for west. Let's head up to Sebago Lake and back down through Windham, Gorham, and Westbrook. 46 miles with no wind, no rain, and no reason not to!
Wheels roll at 8:00.
Of course the weather looks perfect while I'm out of town--that's how my luck goes! But Adam is available and looking forward to seeing Old Orchard Beach, so that's our route for the day.
The route is 51 miles; it IS tourist season, so beware the coffee-starved visitors and phone zombies down along the beaches.
It's going to be balmy 70°, so wheels roll at Adam 8:00.
It looks like the wet weather is going to give us a break tomorrow and I thought I'd give our legs a little breather, too.
Theresa is going to fill in as bunny herder, and she liked the idea of Pineland--without all the hills. This seemed a good option, as there are myriad ways to go longer or shorter, depending on how the group feels.
Let's go with the skinny route to Pineland--be aware, I missed updating the Strava map to reflect the move back to Baxter Blvd, so your computer won't pick up the route until you pass the school on Ocean Ave. Garmin and RWGPS are fine. Also, the route is 45 miles.
Wheels roll at 8:00.
Well, dagnabbit, the weather is just staying disagreeable, with rain and cold on Evan's Notch, so we're going to err on the side of caution and punt the White Mountain ride once again. But that means there is room in our day for a local ride tomorrow.
Let's keep our legs strong and take a little spin out towards Bonny Eagle and Bar Mills for 53 miles and 2400' for climbing; if people are feeling extra eager, you can tack on an extra ten miles and 500' with a little dog leg up to Limington.
Let's get underway before the weather has a chance to play spoiler: wheels roll at 8:00.
