Boston Bike Show

Just got back from a short 13 mile ride, the wind was picking up and its raining now but the temp wasn't to bad.

Have any of you guys done the ride across Maine from Sunday River to Rockland? Sounds like it might be a fun ride.

That does sound like fun, Jodi. I haven't spent too much time in Maine, but I have really loved what I've seen.
OK, rode 25.5 miles yesterday. It felt like I've never been on a bike! I certainly have been exercising this winter, but with the lack of snow and no X country skiing, I guess has put me in worse shape. Plus, living in a hillier area now is making my average go down. I guess I'll get stronger from the hills; right now I feel like a wimp. Today, we had to go somewhere in the AM and when we decided to go out for a short 15 mile ride afterwards, it looked really threatening, so we walked instead.
There's always next weekend!

I did a 28 mile ride yesterday. Did go to the Bike show today for about 2 hours. As you all said, a bit disappointing.

Thanks for the updates on the bike show--I opted not to go in order to help BF empty out his kitchen for demo/remodeling. And now I'm glad I didn't go--sounds like it was mediocre. I did get a 19 mile bike ride on Saturday though. And I was definitely dragging but I love that even when I am at my lowest fitness level, I can still have fun and be on the bike for awhile anyway!

No, I haven't done that ride in Maine...are there details about it somewhere? I'm guessing it's under our NE century thread... It should be pretty nice scenery but not sure what the roads will be like--even with low snow counts, the frost heaves are plentiful down in Southern Maine, at least, near my folks. Which means interesting potholes and cracks come summer on some rural routes...
