From the Altamont Enterprise re road closing in June and July

link to altamont enterprise.com article

 

 

FYI

Be aware, for those who plan to descend Antioch Rd
between Clark Rd & Fishback Rd. There was an attempted
"road repair" that has left a 6-8'' wide, 1 1/4" deep gap in
the blacktop across the entire right lane.
Trust me, it was quite exciting to hit this at 30-40 MPH
BE CAREFUL

I Must Be Dreaming, How Quickly We Forget:
Every so often, I’ll ride a recreational group ride. I love the comraderie of cyclists,
the talk, the last minute pumps of air, the clicking in, and the easy drifting out as a peloton.
“I miss riding in a group,” I’ll think to myself.

Be careful when riding in a group.

We are looking for volunteers for the TOD and I wanted to reach out to your group. The TOD is happening May 4th & 5th. Saturday is a circuit race and time trial and Sunday is the road race. On the courses there are a few locations which would really benefit from having a volunteer who understands the dynamic between bike racing and cars.

 

Could you possibly post this information on your website and/or Facebook page?

 

For more details or if you would like to register to volunteer please go to www.tourofthedragons.com and click on the volunteer link.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Thank you,

Dear New England Bike Club: I'm writing to invite you to the 12th Annual Maine Women's Ride. This year's ride takes place on June 2nd in Freeport.  Planning for the ride has been underway for months and we're confident that this year's ride will be our best yet!  We have added a new 75-mile route and will have plenty of activities before and after the event that will make the whole day a blast for riders of all levels.   New this year is the “Bike Ambassador” program.  We’re giving new participants the option of riding with experienced Women’s Ride cyclists.  Think of an ambassador as someone who will keep a new rider company, knows the route, is confident about riding anywhere and can help when something comes up. If you would like to be an ambassador, or would like to ride with one, please  email us. We've also added some awesome new merchandise this year, including a limited edition Women's Ride jersey, long-sleeve performance shirt and a short-sleeve cotton t-shirt.  Head over to the website to check out the apparel and make sure to add to your cart when you register!  We will be offering pre and post-ride massage and upon your return, you'll be welcomed with music, yoga and a party!  We'll have free munchies, discounted beer, music and LOTS of door prizes--including a bike from Gorham Bike and Ski, biking apparel, gift certificates for massage and facials, and other items to pamper you and enhance your biking life.   As always, our event will be very well organized and the routes will be fully supported with leaders and sweeps, rest stops, as well as extensive bike safety, mechanical support and SAG wagons. If you haven't signed up yet, please  register now!  Invite your friends, workmates, daughters, mothers and aunts.  The more the merrier!  If for some reason you can't ride this year but would like to participate, please consider  volunteering. I hope to see you in Freeport on June 2nd!   --                   Nancy Grant Executive Director nancy@bikemaine.org
