The 'Lunch Rides' 2015
1) - Shawn and I left Bar Harbor at 6am and rode Rt 2 west to Farmington, then up Rt 24 along the Sandy River to Rangeley Lakes and down to Bethel via the Andover cut-over, then Rt 2 home...about 438 miles. Despite checking to see if Smoking Good was open first, they were closed. Lunch at Sunday River instead.
