The wife and I haven't gotten much riding in this year because of the rain. Earlier this month we went on a two hundred mile run with The United Bikers of Maine - Franklin County. The weather was bright and cool; perfect for a bike run. Our route took us through the western Maine mountains and over the height of land overlooking the Rangeley Lakes, finally ending at the Moose Alley in Rangeley.
A little bit of sore biker ass when we got home, but a great ride.

| This was called a poker run. Twelve dollars a rider. Five stops, at each stop you draw a card At the destination the best hand wins 50% of pot. Other half goes to Christmas baskets for needy in the county. |
 |
| Final destination. Chow down. Everyone splits up and then seventy miles back to the house. |

That Spider one...looks like my cup of arthritic, old man tea. No way I could handle anything else.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like so much fun. Sadly, I can't handle riding any more. Our last trip we went from Ft. Lauderdale down to Key West and I thought I was going to die. Of course the weather was steamin' and that didn't help any.
ReplyDeletelooks like fun, not my kind of fun, but fun nether the less. I prefer having steel wrapped around me and unable to see the ground ..
ReplyDeleteThat spider thing looks like something I could handle. Otherwise no bikes for me as I have no sense of balance.
