Hi,
there are a few roads that are really dangerous.
Bring this thread back, or bug me later, and we'll talk.
Been sick, and I don't have the energy right now.
If you like beer, try the Blueberry Ale at Lompochs in Bar Harbor. Trust me, just try it.
The best Mexican in the state is just up the street from Lompochs, and the burrito place just down the street ain't bad either. There is a breakfast called Two Cats that is a tradition with us. I'll have to look at the map, I don't what your plans are, the Camden area
is tricky. Route One north of Camden is deadly for a few miles, and the back road is the local
commuter road (Rte 52) and may be worse. I know, I rode it last summer.
Make sure you do some weekend trips to get used to touring.
I am a little confused, are you riding up from Penn, or driving somewhere and parking? You might want to consider doing this tour as a one way rather than a loop. I used to do loops around here all
the time. I always wind up on some horrendously dangerous road trying to close the loop. We have some great roads for biking, and we also have a few that are nightmarish. Camden has a nice motel with a heated pool. After riding all day it was just awesome soakign and stretching in that pool; my wife will remember the name.
