How about a ride to The Basin? It is always a beautiful, fun ride, roads are quiet and the weather looks good! There is some new pavement in the area, enjoy! Ellin will be your host for this ride.
Meet in North Fryeburg at the corner of South Chatham Road and Route 113, in the park next to the Saco Valley Fire Station. As you already know, please do not block the fire station parking area.
Start, Ready to Ride, at 10:00 am
Head to Fish Street first to enjoy some new pavement and do MacNeil, then out on Union Hill and Meadow to the Stow Store. Bring a lunch and/or snacks, because the Stow Store is closed for vacation. You can picnic and refill water bottles at the Basin Campground.
Heading back will be a good ride, a few uphills, but mostly downhill, hope for a tailwind.
Total mileage: 29. This ride allows for many options to shorten or lengthen the ride and choice of route to get from place to place.
If you want a longer ride, start at the Maine Visitors Center to add a total of 18 more miles (9 miles each way), for a total of 47 relatively easy miles. If you start riding from the Visitor's Center by 9:10 you should easily meet the group at the Fire Station or at the little white church as they turn onto Fish Street to head to MacNeil.
