Mystery Ride

A friend of mine got a new bike, so she planned a ride for us.  She wouldn’t tell us anything about it, just that lunch would be about half way through the ride.  We met in Sabattus and took off from there.  It ended up that only three of us could make it this trip.  Our first stop (bathroom and stretch break) was in South Paris.  After the break we headed West on Route 117 then turned onto Route 26.  A few miles down that road we pulled over for our host to double check her directions – oops, heading the wrong way, so we turned around.  We headed back through town and turned onto Route 117, then Route 140 and Route 219 which took us to West Paris.  As we were getting close to the intersection in West Paris I was chuckling as we could have turned onto Route 26 and gotten right here from South Paris.  The host was doing a good job at confusing us.  We stopped quickly for her to check her map (not letting us see it).  We continued on Route 219 into Greenwood.  I noticed as we were climbing a hill that the host seemed to be slowing down at each road off and then kept going.  A couple of miles went by and we pulled over and she says I can’t find the restaurant, I’m not sure where we are.  We all laugh as we get off our bikes to look at the gazette.  A lady was out and heard us so came to give us directions and laugh with us.  We turned around and headed back down the mountain – the views were beautiful – well worth getting lost! We took another wrong turn, but someone stopped and gave us additional directions.  We parked and got inside just before the sky’s opened up – it started pouring.  The restaurant was great, a nice little gem which serves organic food and Maine product, it’s located on Route 26 in South Woodstock.

Check it out if you are in the area.  It’s a local favorite as it was very busy the whole time we were there.  By the time we were ready to leave the rain had stopped, roads were dry and the sun was out.

We had so much fun and a lot of laughing!  I’m sure we will do this again, it was so much fun.

Love and Light to you all!
