Ken's Hot Dog Ride is moving to Ken(t)'s Hill! This Saturday we
will have our annual Hot Dog Ride (shout out to the ride's founder, Ken
Louis, who has moved afar, hopefully where there are still hot dogs) at
the Kents Hill Alpine Sports Center near the junction of Rt.s 17 and 41
in Kents Hill. The club will again provide hot dogs and drinks, and you
are welcome to bring things to share. The Alpine Center is equipped with
a kitchen with fridge and microwave, and we will have a grill and some
coolers (alcoholic beverages are not advised - remember, this is a high
school). There are also rooms to change after the ride. There will be
rides of 25 and 50 miles starting at 9 am, with optional metric and
century routes for those so inclined (let the ride leader know if you
want to start earlier than 9 am and he will send you cue sheets to go
with the routes linked below). All of the routes will be unmarked with
no support enroute, so plan for your independence accordingly. If Hot
Dogs are not your thing, the Lobster Ride is scheduled for this Sunday
at the Camden Snow Bowl. We are hopeful of making this an annual event -
many thanks to our hosts at Kents Hill Academy! Let's hope for a good
turnout on Saturday!
