The Cobbossee Odyssey - The Fielder's Choice

We had a great ride Saturday from Damariscotta to Pemaquid.  Beautiful weather to ride along the ocean, with some nice sea breezes to offset the summer heat in the sun.  Our thanks to David Lipman for another fine ride!  This week's ride will tackle some of the challenging terrain around Lake Cobbossee - with a stop at Fielder's Choice ice cream at the end!
