My "Centuryish" Sunday ride
Yesterday I did 81 miles along the southern Maine coast. Had wanted to go for a 100 miler but my wife was concerned about me going so far and having to drive to get to me should I have a problem. I told her I would just take a "long" ride.
Average speed was 13 mph. Left at 9:30 in the morning and got home at 4:50 in the afternoon.

Absolutely! Except for the part where I foolishly took the advice of the Eastern Trail sign for bikes which led me totally out of the way and somewhat lost for a short period of time. Particularly liked the pizza stop at Old Orchard Beach. Sad to see everything closing up for the winter though.

The southern coast is not as dramatic as further down east but still has its own charm and fun to ride long flat stretches with marshland.

and still places to get pizza (Until Oct. 12)
