Trek Update

This past weekend was the annual Trek Across Maine bike ride. The ride begins at Sunday River Ski Resort in Bethel and winds it's way thru the State to Rockland. 3 days, 180 miles, 2 sore knees and many smiles later we made it to the sea. This will be brief because the boys are planning on going fishing tonight: Day 1: Rain- in less than 20 miles Cameron and I broke a spoke causing my rear tire to warp and begin cuffing my brake and frame. 20-mile pit stop we where able to fix the spoke but not the rim it's self so we cuffed the brake and frame another 20 miles until the next rest stop. Once there we fixed the rim but the tire was spent and had a bubble on the side...we rode on anyways. Another 10 miles and my good buddy Jack stopped and asked if we wanted a ride. I may have surprised him by jumping at the offer and called it a day at about mile marker 50. Still not to bad for a 6 year old and an old man on a cold rainy morning. Day 2: Solo from Farmington to Waterville- a slight story here, which I'll come back to some day. Day 3: Cameron ops for x-box and Calvin steps up to finish the final leg of the Trek and likely the most exhausting section. 60 miles from Colby College to Rockland- Calvin rode like a champ and we made it in record time.
