Left Stowe, Vermont this morning after visiting the Trapp Family Lodge. Our next visit to Stowe will be spent there! Drove across New Hampshire and once in Maine pulled into the Maine State Visitor Information Center in Fryeburg. This is where this trail begins. It was a beautiful sunny day, temperature was 65 degrees.
The trail followed the railroad tracks straight out from the Visitors Center and stayed with the tracks the whole time. I think this was the straightest and shortest trail we have ridden. A deer crossed in front of us at one point, bounding across the trail, over the railroad tracks and up into the woods. Loved seeing the jonquils blooming along the trail and the White Mountains of New Hampshire in the distance. Wish it had been a longer ride!

Some states don't have many paved trail options of significant length in the area of the state that works best for our travels. So sometimes we have to go with shorter trails. Fortunately, Maine had two shorter trails not too far from each other. This is why we rode two trails today.
Arrived at trail #2 late afternoon. It is about 10 degrees colder here but still sunny (yay)! Biked along the Androscoggin River. It was very lovely. Had a nice young skateboarding fellow offer to take our picture. He was very interested in our biking and thought we were "cute". Wish it had been a longer ride!
