Another Tour de Trails ride this Saturday
The fine upstanding folks (that would be Jeff, Deborah and even Pete) at the BCM (that's the Bicycle Coalition of Maine for anybody who may be from away) would like you to know that there's another Tour de Trails ride this Saturday.
This one's on the Androscoggin River Trails in Turner.
Here's da scoop from the BCM:
This ride is a great opportunity to try mountain biking for the first time or come along for a challenging 15-mile intermediate loop. This popular multi-use trail includes everything from dirt roads to double and single track ~ something for mountain bikers of all levels. Meet at parking lot on Center Bridge Road in Turner at 10:00 a.m.
Directions from Augusta: Take Route 202 South to Greene. Take right onto Allen Pond Road (flashing light) and follow till you come to the Androscoggin River. Cross the large metal Bridge. Parking will be less than ½ mile on the left after boat launch and inlet.
Directions from Auburn, Livermore etc: Take Route 4 north or south to Turner. Take Route 117 at flashing light into Turner center. Follow to stop sign (shcreps store on the corner) Go straight onto Center Bridge Road. Parking is a couple of miles up road on Right.
Sounds like a wicked good time. Join 'em and have some fun!
Credit MUST be given where it is due. This ride happens mostly because of the efforts of Ellen Wells. She is the Tour de Trails Guru. The Grand PooBah. The Queen of the Single Track. The Tzarina of... well, you get the point. Come join us in Turner on Saturday and help put a smile on Ellen's face. Look for Bicycle Coalition of Maine signs near the trailhead.
