We've had some hot weather lately, but it was no deterrent to a
wonderful ride last Sunday from Sidney. We had some great roads with
new pavement and a fine group out - many thanks to Jim Putman for
leading this ride for 16 straight years! This Saturday we will try to
beat the heat with a cool ride along the coast from Damariscotta to
Pemaquid Point. The scheduled follow-up ride on Sunday from Boothbay
will be a leaderless show-and-go ride for anyone staying over in the
area who is looking for a ride to do on Sunday. See you Saturday, and
have a Happy Fourth!
