The Fryeburg Frolic Century attempts to be a kinder, gentler century even though it passes through the hills of western Maine, up to the edge of the White Mountains. It starts at the University of Southern Maine, Gorham Campus, off Rt. 114. The route to Fryeburg winds through pine woods and small villages; past lakes and around the Burnt Meadow Mountains. With an Indian Summer day, the Fryeburg food stop, near a beach on a quiet bend of the Saco River, may include some swimming. The return ride follows the Saco River, even though you only get to glimpse it now and then. It includes the back road from Hiram to Cornish – a classic stretch of understated Maine beauty. There are four food stops on the ride and sag wagon support. Rain or shine ride. FMI, contact Ken O’Brien at 207-839-5468 or contact by email.

Dear Riders, The 2011 White Mountain Century, scheduled for Saturday, September 17, has been canceled due to damage to roads and bridges on the route caused by Hurricane Irene, which has closed the Kanc and parts of Route 302 to traffic. While crews are working to make necessary repairs, there are no assurances that those repairs would be complete prior to the date of the century. Because of the extent of the damage, rerouting the course would also be difficult and there are additional concerns of putting riders onto roads with increased traffic due to the detours. NOTE: For those who have pre-registered, please know that we will not cash those checks and will shred them instead. Please help us spread the word! If you know of others planning to ride, who may not be on this distribution list, please pass along this information. Gary, Mary and I, along with the Casco Bay Bicycle Club, hope to see you next year. We’re disappointed to cancel a ride that we know many people look forward to every year, but clearly the safety of our riders is our number one concern. Let us know if you have any questions! Thanks! Amy, Gary and Mary. FMI: contact by email. Hi All, Just a reminder that this Saturday, August 13, 2011 (rain date Sunday August 14) the Saturday Yarmouth ride will become the Bailey Island ride. The ride totals about 45 miles. There are two options for beginning the ride. Either leave at 8:00 AM (an hour earlier than usual!) from the Yarmouth Hannaford and bike to the Casco Bay Lines Ferry Terminal in Portland, or just meet at the ferry terminal. We’ll get on the 10:00 AM ferry to Bailey Island, arriving around Noon. Then we’ll bicycle back to Yarmouth or Portland, depending on where you started. There will be a brief stop at a convenience store in the Brunswick area for snacks, drinks, water, etc. Detailed ride sheets will be available on the day of the ride. Cost will be $17 for the one way ferry ride plus $6.50 for your bicycle, a total of $23.50. FMI, contact Bill Jose at contact by email . Hope to see you there! Bill (Rain date: July 31, 2011.) A mostly flat 38 mile ride along York Beach around the Nubble and lighthouse down to Kittery, with a loop through old Portsmouth and back. Very scenic! Starts at 10:00 AM, The Beach House, 40 Mitchell Rd, York Beach. FMI, contact Ron Gillis at contact by email. It is Maine Bike Rally weekend, July 8 – 10, 2011. Please consider coming out for the whole event. However what we need most right now are leaders and sweeps for the rides. If you can’t commit a whole weekend, please consider stopping through just to lead or sweep a ride. Some ride host duties are sketched out here: http://cascobaybicycleclub.org/html/Rally_2010/subcs/road/rideduties.htm But really, the most important thing is for rider/visitors from away feel comfortable that at least a few folks familiar with the route are on the ride. The ride host openings, cuesheets and maps are at http://cascobaybicycleclub.org/html/Rally_2010/subcs/road/rallyrides.htm Thanks |
