See the Cobb

It was a beautiful summer day for our ride from Chelsea on Saturday. We rode over a new route on some exceptionally nice back roads. Many thanks to Fred for leading and scoping out such a nice route! The fine weather looks like it will continue into next Saturday when we will meet in Manchester for one of our traditional club rides around Cobbossee Lake. Hope you can join us! Saturday, August 9th - MANCHESTER "A Cobbossee Odyssey": a tour around Cobbosseecontee Lake. START: 9:00 A.M., at the parking lot on McArdle Street, just off Rt. 202W past the junction of Rt. 202 & Rt.17, between the Manchester Grange Hall and Fielders' Choice Ice Cream Stand. The parking lot is the first right after you turn on McArdle Street. DISTANCE: 28.8 miles. TERRAIN: rolling with some challenging hills. HIGHLIGHTS: views of Cobbossee Lake, back roads of Winthrop, Manchester, West Gardiner, Litchfield, and Monmouth, and a potential ice cream stop conveniently at the end!
