Beautiful Weather, a lot of Riding!

Maine has had a great stretch of great weather, so I’ve been putting on a lot of miles.  As I posted earlier I went to Laconia Bike week with a friend.  The day after I rode with a friend to Rumford for an appointment that she had, then to South Paris for dinner.   We ate at a little Italian restaurant, then headed home.  We ended up getting home about 9pm that night.  The next afternoon I took a ride up around Oakland, ate at Big G’s, which if you haven’t eaten there, you need to go.  Their sandwiches are huge, I get a 1/2 a sandwich and had all I can do to eat it all.  I got home about 8:30pm that night.

Another day I took off from my house I ended up in the Rumford area again.  I stopped at a rest area that I’ve always driven by.  Love all the waterfalls and the statues!

Another day I was going to go up to Littleton, Maine to see a covered bridge that is there. I got started late so I decided to get onto the highway until Bangor, Maine.  This trip would be about 450 miles round trip.  When I got close to Newport, Maine I had something happen.  It’s hard to explain, but while cursing at 70 plus I couldn’t feel anything, and my hands felt very strange.  When I moved them, I wasn’t feeling what I was doing.  It scared the poop out of me.  I wasn’t sure if I would be able to use my clutch, brakes or anything.  Wasn’t even sure I would be able to stop the bike.  I immediately started to pray for my safety and took the next exit.  I was able to do what was needed even though I couldn’t feel it.  I stopped the bike and took a break.  As soon as I was stopped the strange feeling was gone.  I decided to take the back roads towards home just in case it happened again.  Since this incident I have done some meditating, had energy work done and had a reading done to figure out what was going on.  I do know that they needed to get my attention – boy did they!  I also know that I need to pay attention to my body and do what is necessary so I can keep riding and riding safely.  I’ve had some hand issues that I have been ignoring and that is one of the reasons they needed to get my attention.  I don’t have all the information on this as stuff is still coming to me daily.  I’ve done a lot more riding since that day and haven’t had anything else happen – thank goodness!

Sunday I rode up to Cordin Gore which is on the Canadian boarder.  It’s a nice ride with multiple hills and curves.  There wasn’t any traffic in the morning, and by afternoon it was all the campers heading home after a weekend of 4 wheeling.  Eustis is a popular place for that.  I have a habit of not looking at my phone until I get home, but I took it out to take a picture and saw that a friend had texted me asking if I wanted to ride that day.  I was bummed I missed it, as I was riding alone.  I ended up meeting up with him and we went for a short ride and dinner.  It was nice catching up!

I’ve been back home for about a month and a half and have already put on 4,000 miles.  I’m enjoying having the free time to go riding whenever I want.  Having all this nice weather is making it very hard to get the house cleaned out…..

Next week they are calling for better/warmer weather than we have had this week – uh oh 😳.  I think I hear my bike calling me!

Love and Light to you all!
