A Tercentennial

Despite some overcast skies, we had a fine ride from Richmond to Wiscasset on Saturday.  The route was scenic with roads in pretty good shape, including some new pavement, and the stop at Treats was, as usual, a real treat!  Thank you to David for another great ride!  This Saturday we will head north to Norridgewock and Madison for a popular ride along the Sandy River on Father Rasle Road, including a stop at the Father Rasle memorial on the 300th anniversary of the massacre.  We'll hope that history doesn't repeat itself, and we'll see you on Saturday!
