It's Oxbow Metric Weekend!
So, yeah, I'll be off doing that. For any looking for something local, I will leave you with this one or your choice from the Route Library. If you have Strava and plan to ride, click the button so others know you'll be there. It's going to be a great day, so get out there!
Well, I'm not sure if it's Tammy's fault or not, but I don't even see a bump-day possibility this weekend--it's just going to be wet.
As long as there's nothing we can do about it, let's look ahead to 10/28: we're planning to do the Oxford Hills ride next weekend, so BOLO for an email with final dates, and think happy thoughts!
Tomorrow is the annual Merrymeeting Metric Century ride, leaving Flight Deck Brewery at 9:00--so you know where I'll be. However, I know not everyone has time for that ride, so I will post something here and ask for a leader or, at least click the I'm In button on Strava so others know they will have company if they want to ride, too (that's a handy button, that is).
I'll leave you with two choices: the Highland Lake loop (33 miles; the Strava route is a tad shorter, turning at Merrill Rd instead of Lunt) or Windham-Gorham (44 miles). Load them up and choose in the morning. If you choose Windham, take a peek down Middlejam Rd and see if they've repaved the top section yet.
Clearly, there will be no Saturday Morning Ride tomorrow--so what about Sunday?
It's still unclear when the rain will stop on Sunday, so this is by no means a solid plan, but I thought I'd put it out there. We still have a pair of options, one west (N Windham/Gorham Hook up to Sebago Lake) and one north up to Pownal (Roads Less Traveled).
So far it looks like a 9:00 start should be dry, but it will be breezy. Enjoy the extra hour of sleep.
