| Passing the base of an early windmill on Morrison Heights |
We had a great ride in Freeport on Saturday,
despite the overcast and cool weather. The roads were first rate and the
traffic was light (except for Rt. 1 in Freeport on the return, although not as
bad as in mid-summer). We had a nice, long, flat run out to the end of
Merepoint, and some great ocean views with fall foliage along the way. Many
thanks to Ken Louis for setting up the joint ride with MOAC. This week we will
return to Wayne for the "Tour de Lacs" with a great climb up Morrison Heights -
ought to be great for foliage views! Hope to see you
Saturday!
"The Tour de Lacs" - a loop of Androscoggin Lake, with a couple detours for
special Wayne sights.
START: 9:00 AM, at the Wayne Elementary School, Pond Rd (turn north from
Rt. 133, just west of Wayne village; go 1/4-mile, park in lot at north end of
bldg.)
DISTANCE: 26 miles
TERRAIN: Moderately hilly
HIGHLIGHTS: beginning loop goes by the Wayne Ring cemetery (Pond Rd) and
the Wayne Desert (Berry Rd). Great views eastward in Leeds (Rt. 106). A detour
near the end climbs Morrison Heights for a beautiful view westward over Lake
Androscoggin. Food and ice cream at Tubby's at the finish?
LEADER: Jim Merrick.
