| At the general store in Bowdoinham |
We had a great ride Saturday in Rome - once we
stopped counting the hills. There were five of us who did the seven hills, and
then some. Fortunately most of the climbing was in shade, and the heat began to
moderate a bit with a nice breeze - the harbinger of beautiful weather to start
the week. We have another fine stretch of weather ahead, by all accounts, and
another classic ride to Bowdoinham coming up this Saturday. Summer is
definitely here, so get out and get on your bike and join us!
