Dear AdventuRiders,
Saturday looks like very nice weather for a Century. It should be partly cloudy and mid 50s when we leave, and mostly sunny and low 70s when we return. There could be a cross wind sea breeze on the way back, but I know an inland detour if necessary.
So I have two plans. They both leave from Hampton Beach (ride headquarters) and follow the official route to Cape Neddick in York, ME. If I'm running out of steam at that point, I have a route back that will give us a metric century. If I'm still raring to go, I have a route that goes up to the beaches in Wells, ME and then inland to the Eastern Trail and back to Kittery to rejoin the official route to get a full century.
Of course there is always the 25, 50, 62, and 100 mile official routes if anybody wants to join us.
