It looks like we'll have a window of bike ride opportunity. Let's Go!
There is a sun up there. I almost saw it yesterday! So let's be positive and plan for a ride tomorrow. We need a route that is well drained and doesn't get us to far away from our cars or other shelter in case it precipitates while we're on our bikes. (Notice I didn't use the "R" word.)
This easy and unbelievably scenic 15 mile ride is part pavement (black) and part dirt (tan), hence the route's name Fryeburg Black and Tan. It starts in the beautiful North Fryeburg farm lands with fabulous mountain views. Then it takes dirt roads along the Old Course of the Saco River to Hemlock Covered Bridge, where there are more farm fields with gorgeous vistas.
We'll meet tomorrow morning, May 24th at 10:00am, ready to ride, at the park next to the Saco Valley Fire Station in North Fryeburg, at the corner of Route 113 and South Chatham Road. Do not park in front of the fire station, park on the side of the road next to the park. Bring lunch, water, sunscreen? and bugspray!.

For those with the inclination and the time we can explore Federal Street where, it is rumored, there is a dirt road that connects MacNeil Street with Route 5. This should add about 5 miles to the ride total.
