| Entering Bowdoinham |
We had a great ride Saturday in Rome - once we
stopped counting the hills. There were seven of us who did the seven hills, and
then some. Fortunately most of the climbing was in shade, as the morning gave
way to mid-day heat and humidity. We have another fine stretch of weather
ahead, by all accounts, and another classic ride to Bowdoinham coming up next
Sunday. Summer is definitely here, so get out and get on your bike and join
us!
