This past week it’s been very hot and humid here in Maine. Monday a couple of us were going on a ride up the coast towards Bar Harbor. Due to the humid weather we decided to stay closer to home, and we are glad we did. We road up to Wilton and on way there we stopped for a break at Flying Pond. No one was on or around the water, so it was very peaceful. We had lunch at Calzolaio Pasta Company which is located on Main Street. They have a nice patio that overlooks a stream. We ended up eating inside as it was so hot out. After lunch we headed back towards home, and it was a good thing, even the shaded areas were hot. My bike read 91 degrees, and humidity was over 70% (Oppressive). After being inside all weekend with my class, it felt wonderful to be outside getting some wind therapy!
Wednesday a friend organized a girls ride that I went on. We headed toward the coast, first stop Owl’s Head Lighthouse. This was the first time going to this lighthouse. The road into the lighthouse wasn’t in the greatest shape, it had a lot of big potholes. Luckily it wasn’t too far. After we parked our bikes, we walked to the lighthouse.
After we headed to Port Clyde and had lunch at Linda Bean’s restaurant. I figured being on the coast I should have seafood, so I got a delicious lobster roll! While we were sitting waiting for lunch to come I notice some people I knew from growing up. They recognized me by my voice, was great seeing them and catching up a little. I think it had been about 20 years since I have seen them. Port Clyde is a great little fishing community!
After lunch we headed over to Marshall Point lighthouse. The views all along the coast are just beautiful. There was a nice breeze here at this lighthouse, but as soon as we walked back to the parking area there wasn’t anything moving. Right along the coast was the place to be – or riding! 😎🏍
It was a hot day, but when we were moving it was perfect! Another wonderful day riding with some great friends!
Thursday and Friday my son and I put in a floor in my laundry room. I’ve had the tiles for a few years, just couldn’t coordinate with him to get it done. It’s been a great week with some play and some work!
Love and Light to you all!
