We
had a fine ride last Sunday around Lincolnville and Camden out of the
Cellardoor Winery. The weather could hardly have been better, and the
roads could hardly have been smoother (most of them). It was a great way
to close out August and our thanks to Tammy for leading the ride! With
August behind us we head into September and the approach of Fall. We'll
kick it off on Sunday with another great route from Richmond to
Wiscasset. See you Sunday!

Kennebec Valley Bicycle Club rides are open to
members and to the cycling public. Helmets are required of all riders at KVBC
events. It is also recommended that you bring with you on KVBC rides: a map of
the area in case you stray off route; tools for simple roadside repairs,
especially a tire pump, spare tube and/or patch kit; water bottles or hydration
systems; personal ID and a small first aid kit; and money for purchasing snacks
& drinks en-route. In case of severe weather, scheduled rides may be
postponed or designated as "show & go" rides at the discretion of the ride
leader. Route maps are subject to modification due to road conditions or other considerations.
We welcome suggestions for improving our rides and
encourage active participation of all members. For more information, contact
