We had some great early Fall weather this past
weekend, which saw several groups of our riders take part in the Maine
Lighthouse Ride on the coast, and Pedal the Penobscot up in Bangor. Looks like
the BikeMaine riders will benefit from fine wether as they make their way though
our part of Maine. If you are volunteering or see them on the road, give them a
warm welcome! This week's ride will really kick off our Fall season, as Larry
takes us over the back roads from Farmington to Industry. Hope you can join
us!

"The Ups and Downs of Industry": a ride through
the picturesque hills and hollows of Farmington, New Sharon, and
Industry.
