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 13th, 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.The folks at the winery
have graciously allowed us access to restrooms and water before the
ride, but please no cleats in the building. Thank you.
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.
LEADER: Tammy Jones, tjjones@colby.edu.
