Southern Maine Cycling Club: Annual Summer Solstice Ride and BBQ Tuesday June 24th, Saco!

Tuesday June 24th will be the SMCC annual summer solstice ride and BBQ. There will be two rides that will leave the Gorham Bike and Fitness (Saco shop) at 6:00 PM. The A ride will be between 30 and 35 miles. It will be around 20 mph pace with a focus on the continual development of fun, fitness and camaraderie. There will also be a B ride that will be around 20 miles. The pace will most likely be right about 16 mph. As you can see, there will be a ride for all. This year, we will plan on being back to the shop between 7:30 and 7:45 to start enjoying the food. The meats and “unmeats” (hamburgers, hotdogs, veggie burgers) will be provided and served by the club. You are asked to bring your favorite side dish to share. Favorites from the past have been as simple as chips and fruit and as elaborate as homemade pastries and delicious salads. Anything will be appreciated. Please plan on attending the BBQ with your friends and family even if you are unable to attend the ride. We look forward to seeing you all and meeting your families.

Thanks,Steve

Friday Morning Coffee Ride
Year-round, weather permitting

This is one of the club's favorite rides of the week! A casual ride up to Yarmouth, via Routes 1 and 88 to Maine Roasters Coffee. We hang. We chat. We eat and drink. Then a nice ride back down to Portland returning around 9:30. Just in time for work. If your schedule permits, we'd love to have you on this very layed-back ride! 26 miles (+/-).

Saturday Morning Ride
March thru October
7:45 A.M., from Gorham Bike and Ski, Portland.
An aggressive, yet inclusive, jaunt around Scarborough and Cape Elizabeth from Gorham Bike and Ski in Portland. The ride remains neutral from the store until the group goes over the Caso Bay bridge, goes up Antoine Street on to Highland Ave. Then the ride is open to attacks and at time very hard riding. Two sprints highlight the ride near the end of Prout's Neck, and at the Cookie Jar Bakery in Cape Elizathbeth. The group stops there, in the parking lot next to the fire station to regroup and catch its breath, and then rides easy and compact back across the Casco Bay bridge, and into Gorham Bike and Ski. Bagles and coffee are provided at the store after the ride. Click here for a map of route.

Saturday Morning Women's Ride
