The weather forecast looks good for Thursday!
This is a good ride for a nice day. It covers almost all of the pleasant biking roads in Brownfield, Maine. Starting out of the Maine Visitor's Center, the ride goes south on Haleytown Road, then turns left on Hampshire and goes into the village of Brownfield, bearing left onto Main Street, Route 160. Cross Route 5, staying on Route 160, and cross the Saco River. Bear left to go up Lord's Hill Road, enjoy some views, enjoy the downhill, then right onto Rocky Knoll where you will do a few short but energetic hills. Return by Route 160 and then Pig Street for some nice flat riding. Heading back on 160 and then Hampshire, bear left on good pavement to Sam Brown's Hill for more good views. The bridge on the downhill side of Sam Browns Hill may be still under construction, if, so turn back from the summit and return to Haleytown via a nice downhill.
Start at the Maine Visitor's Center on Route 302, just over the border in Fryeburg, Maine.
Ready to ride at 9:00 am
Distance 30 miles. Many shorter options are possible!
Add 8 more miles by riding the bike path from the Visitor's Center out and back.
