Come join us this Sunday for a
special Kennebec Valley Bicycle Club ride in Camden and Lincolnville. This is
one of several superb rides scoped out and led by KVBC member Ray Giglio, and it
is part of our tribute to Ray that we continue to celebrate his many
contributions to the club. Described as a little bit of French wine country in
mid-coast Maine, the ride will feature a stop at the Cellardoor Winery, and some
back roads in a area that we don't get a chance to ride in (as a group) that
often. Part of the route will trace part of the East Coast Greenway, and the
ride will have other treats in store. Hope to see you on
Sunday!
August 21st, Sunday:
Lincolnville
“Out Through the
Cellar Door” – a circuit of Megunticook Lake,
including Camden and the Cellardoor Winery and vineyard in Youngtown
(Lincolnville).
START: 10:00 A.M.,
at the Cellardoor
Winery, 367 Youngtown Rd, one mile east of Route 52. Please park along the
winery driveway leading up the hill across from the store, and not in the
customer parking lot behind the winery store.
DIRECTIONS:
From Camden, take
Rt. 52 north for 5 miles and turn right onto the Youngtown Rd for one mile. See
the Cellardoor Winery website for map and detailed directions: http://mainewine.com.
DISTANCE:
25-30
miles, depending if a loop from Camden to
Rockport is taken and if we return to the winery via Rt. 52 or via Rts. 1 and
173. The route is moderately hilly, and some of the road surfaces are showing
wear although many have been resurfaced recently.
HIGHLIGHTS:
Visit the winery
store and take a walk through the vineyards. Numerous lake views during the
ride. Camden (& Rockport). Part of the route is the official East Coast
Greenway interim on-road coastal route.
LUNCH:
The picnic tables
outside the winery store are available for us to use after our ride. We can
bring a bag lunch, or they sell beverages, local cheeses, breads, and other
goodies. And of course, they sell wine and have wine
tasting.
LEADERS: Tammy
Jones
and Jeanine Libby..
