| Heading Toward Chesterville on Valley Road |
After our fine ride last Saturday from Gardiner to
Bowdoinham (thanks, Joe!) this Saturday we will fill in an open date in the
calendar with another great ride in Livermore through Leeds and Fayette - 25
miles, with an optional longer loop of about 41 miles, traversing the entire
Chesterville Esker, out and back, as well as a extension into North
Chesterville. All of it on rather flat terrain, and the route has some great
local eateries along the way, scoped out by the ride's originator, Frank Rosen.
Breakfast at the Lunch Pad restaurant is also optional: it's a nice little
seasonal diner and ice cream shop - yep, you're covered pre- and post-ride -
Frank thinks of everything. We'd like to encourage those of our members who
haven't ridden with us yet this year to come on out and join us. Frank has
moved to more temperate climes in Pennsylvania (everybody says "Hi" Frank!) so
he's excused, but we'd like to see everyone else on Saturday!
Saturday, August 3rd - LIVERMORE
"Single Chainring Tour" - an exploration of the
flatlands from Livermore to Leeds, through Fayette to the Chesterville
Esker.
START: 8:30 AM at the Lunch Pad Restaurant (7:30 am
if you want to join us for breakfast) at the junction of Rt.17 and Rt. 133 (Park
Street) in Livermore, where Rt. 17 N comes into a "T" intersection just before
downtown Livermore Falls. Park in the Footware parking lot next to the diner.
We may have to shift parking into the nearby town park if the store is open, but
we will figure that all out before the ride starts.
DISTANCE: 25 or 41 miles.
TERRAIN: mostly moderate with no big
hills.
HIGHLIGHTS: Breakfast, beautiful roads and a nice
flat run along the scenic Chesterville Esker.
LEADER: Jim Merrick, hjmerrick@gmail.com.
