The weather did not cooperate for last Sunday's ride, and even
took a turn for the worse to start off the week - at least for those of
us for whom visions of Spring involve flowers, not ice pellets. The
forecast for next Sunday, on the other hand, is mostly sunny and in the
50s - to which we say, "Yes! Sign us up!" Join us this Sunday, Earth
Day, in Augusta at the Rail Trail for our annual "Wake Up the Earth
Ride!" We may have to get a bit creative passing through the
construction in Downtown Hallowell, but we hope to make a stop at
Slate's bakery and congregate in their outdoor patio. Hope you can join
us!
April 22nd, Sunday - AUGUSTA
"Wake Up the Earth" - an early Spring/Earth Day ride along the Kennebec River Rail Trail through Augusta, Hallowell, and Gardiner.
START: 10:00 AM at the Augusta trail head of the rail trail - the municipal parking lot off of Water Street adjacent to the Maine State Housing Authority (353 Water St.) in the shadow of Memorial Bridge.
DISTANCE: 20+ miles
TERRAIN: flat (and we mean flat)
HIGHLIGHTS: EARTH DAY! For many of us, the first ride of the season, a pleasant run along the Kennebec River, with some great natural scenery mixed with some urban vistas, kicking off another great year of cycling. Probable stop at Slate's Bakery in Hallowell!
