10/19 Saturday Ride

Regrettably, I am still limited in my riding, but Theresa has volunteered as Bunny Wrangler again, and she has some requirements:

  • 9:00 start, when it's going to be a balmy 50°
  • Coastal and pretty
So the loose idea is to head in the general direction of Freeport/South Brunswick, turn back maybe on Highland, and take side-trips along the way to enjoy the color (Princess Point and Little John on the way home, etc).

I am jealous and sad for the lovely ride I will miss!

10/12 Saturday Ride

Merrymeeting Metric Century

It's October and the light is fading, so it's time to take advantage of our weekend event rides! This week it's the lovely Merrymeeting Metric, starting at leaving from Flight Deck Brewery in Brunswick. It looks like the temps will hover just under 60° for the duration, with a fair breeze, so dress appropriately. Wheels roll at 9:00.

For any who can't commit to that ride, but courses from last week are still available. I, however, will not be available to join.

10/5 Saturday Ride

This is Cadillac Challenge weekend, friends; if you haven't done this ride, you owe it to yourself—it's the prettiest century in Maine. 

Unfortunately, I will have to miss this year's edition (first time in 15 years) so will select a ride for tomorrow. I got a little knee issue going on and I need a route I can easily bail from, so we're going to start the ride pointed at my house! I will offer two (a 35 and a 47 miler [50, if you circle Back Cove]) and we can select in the morning. 

Given the overnight rain, let's move the ride back to a 9:00 start.
