It's Dempsey Challenge weekend, and it's going to be a winner! Unfortunately, I've been pressed into labor tomorrow at the office. I'm really rather put out.
But let's not let that spoil the fun! As beautiful as it's going to be (and the tourists being gone), I'd be tempted to head to the coast, but I'll have to leave this to the group to decide.

9/20 Saturday Ride
The Loon Echo Trek is this weekend. This is a great ride in a gorgeous part the state and the weather looks to be about perfect for it. If you want to head up there, but didn't bother to register, it looks like walk-ups are welcome.
As for our ride, for what seems like to millionth time this summer Bron and I are both unavailable to lead (Bron has a good excuse, I don't). So, we are looking for one of our trusty regulars to step into the role. We'd appreciate a quick comment from someone acknowledging that they will play the shepherd.
With a number of folks likely at the Loon Echo ride, we're thinking it makes sense to keep the route familiar and head up to Freeport (Ride route). For those looking to add a few more miles, the Flying Point loop up to Brunswick is always an option (Ride route).

9/13 Saturday Ride
Okay, let's try this again:
The tourists are gone and I need some miles, so let's head down to Saco. It will be on the coolish side tomorrow, so dress accordingly.
There is really no shortcut to this once we head down Rte 1, so for those interested in a shorter day, we'll split you off at Black Point Road for the Prout's Neck loop. Bring two bottles tomorrow, but we'll plan to stop at the Saco Bay Variety.
NOTE: I'm doing the Loon Echo next weekend, so we're going to need a volunteer cat herder. Operators are standing by...

9/6 Saturday Ride
UPDATE:
Both the Parkinson's ride and Lighthouse ride are covering the same ground east and south as I'd initially posted; it's going to get awfully crowded out there. I think it's best if we save this one for another day. I'm going back to my original thought: we'll head over to Westbrook.
Enough north already! The tourists are gone, it will be in the 70s, and we should be able to beat the rain, so let's head down to Saco.
