At long last I took my bike out to Chebeague Island, one of the few Casco Bay islands I had not yet explored either by bike or boat. I thought I'd share some photos from this recent bicycling trip around the lovely island. Also, there's something I didn't mention in my Sunday (Aug. 5) column.

My Sunday column is about a sweet little ride in the Boothbay area around a few islands, ponds and rivers.
Here are some photos and a link to the route around some of the islands near Boothbay:

Here's some more information about the Biddeford Pool route I wrote about in the June 24 Telegram. For route mapping, I'm trying out mapmyride.com. It seems pretty handy, very easy to use, and you can get elevation profiles and all kinds of maps from satellite to topo to 3D. However, when I used the code to embed the route on my blog, it doesn't seem to work in all browsers (for instance, Safari on a Mac). So, if all you see is white space down below, click this link instead: ROUTE MAP (and sorry about the big empty white space!)
