For this Thursday... Field Trip to Portland!
(As of Wednesday at 2:00: There is still room to sign up!)
Club Member Vince Pelote has organized a ride for us in his home town area of South Portland, Cape Elizabeth and Scarborough, Maine. The ride will travel by 6 lighthouses and will include a section of the Eastern Trail in Scarborough. The ride is mostly on pavement, the section in Scarborough Marsh is hard packed dirt, relatively short and OK for a road bike.
After the ride, Vince was able to reserve tables outside on a deck for 20 participants from 3:00 to 5:00 at the restaurant in the marina next to where lives: "Bistro 43". We will get the Happy Hour specials and lunch menu. Because space is limited, can you RSVP to me as soon as possible if you want to ride and to get a seat? Can you get back to me by Wednesday early evening if you want to join in so that Vince can finalize the restaurant reservations?
There are bathrooms, changing rooms and showers at the marina.
Info on the ride:
The ride is 38 miles, club code B/2/38. Not a hilly ride (1200 feet of gain)
Bring snacks and lunch.
Meet a the Bistro 43 parking lot at 10:00 am, Ready to Ride. It is located at Spring Point Marina near Bug Light in South Portland, the address is:
1 Spring Point Drive, South Portland, ME
