Not My Fault

[SheFly]

I was at Sunday River last week (Thursday-Saturday) to get some base miles in. My training partner and I rode from Bethel to Erroll, NH via Grafton Notch and back on Friday. The wind was wicked going out but the tailwind was a dream coming back! I love riding in that part of Maine. Anyone plan on riding the Loon Echo Bike Trek in September?

SheFly, are you going to compete in the Maine State Time Trial series this year?

That's a hard core ride for this time of year! I know the Bethel - Errol route really well, and it is a great ride. How were the roads? i would imagine there was still some snow up in the notch... And the headwind going through there can be a bear - at least you had it going out instead of coming back - that's usually our luck.

Not sure on the TT series. Will likely at least do the one in Bethel, and maybe a couple of others. Have to see when the dates are to see what other races are happening at the same time.

The roads were actually quite good--much better than they are here on the coast -- and there was little traffic. The last time I rode that route it was last September and it poured rain most of the time. I'm hoping to get to ride it at some point on a nice, calm sunny day

One of the Maine TT series races is going to be on Mount Desert Island this year so give a post if you happen to compete in that one.

ps- We got over a foot of snow in Bar Harbor on Thursday...about twice as much as had been predicted!
