Paris Cue Sheet

Paris Ride Arrow Shape.

With the start of the Wayne to Paris Metric Century shifted from Saturday to Sunday (August 5 at 9am), it is possible that some folks might not be able to make the ride if they have already made other plans for the weekend. Since the ride is arrowed, here is the cue sheet to allow those who wish to do the ride later on their own. The arrows are light blue chevrons in shape, and there will be an arrow about one hundred feet or so before a turn, just before the turn, and just after the turn - three in all at each turn. In addition, there will be a confirming arrow every mile or so along lengthy stretches so you know you are still on the route. Here is the link to the metric century route map: https://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=7008015. For those of you who can join us on the ride - see you Sunday!

Wayne Ride To Paris Rescheduled to SUNDAY

The KVBC Ride from Wayne to Paris that was scheduled for this Saturday has been changed to SUNDAY instead.  We have learned that there is another event, a 5K walk/run fundraiser for the local library, scheduled at the Wayne Elementary School on Saturday at the same time.  Also the weather Saturday is now calling for showers and scattered thunderstorms.  Sunday's weather is looking much more favorable, and there should be no conflict at the ride start.  Please forward this update to anyone not on the list to whom you may have sent the earlier ride announcement - Thanks!

Those of you who were disappointed in the cancellation of the Lobster Ride and looking for another challenge may find this Sunday's KVBC ride from Wayne much to your liking. We have a challenging but doable metric century that will venture out to Paris by way of Buckfield and return through Hebron, Turner, and Leeds. Lots of beautiful countryside, and if you haven't done Streaked Mountain you can soon cross it off your list.  There is a shorter route of 40 miles with a turn-around in Buckfield, and both rides are fully arrowed.  See you Sunday!

"We'll Always Have Paris" - an all-new, fully-arrowed metric century out to Paris and Buckfield.

We'll Always Have Paris

We had a great ride last Sunday from Gardiner to Bowdoinham that was wonderfully marked and ably led by Joe Renda (Thanks, Joe!). We had a good group turn out, no one got lost, and we even encountered another large group of cyclists passing in the opposite direction, leading to a spirited exchange of greetings.
