I do remember doing the Ashuwillticook with my wife as a sort of side excursion. It's not particularly long or challenging, so it's not going to be your main ride, but it was *really* pretty and worthwhile. Definitely worth incorporating into a longer ride or doing on the side.
Thanks, I appreciate that info.

My wife is normally a pretty decent rider but she hasn't been on her bike much at all for several years, so I tried to sway her to take our beater mtbs with platform peds, to just have a nice quiet vaca pootle, but she seems bent on dusting off the road bike and spandex. Hey, who am I to argue? Having said that I think she could use a quiet calm (and as flattish as possible up there) experience at this point.
