On Sunday last… I rode in the Maine Bike Coalition Lobster Ride. The event allows riders to choose their poison: 15, 30, 50, or 100 miles. (I’m up to 30 although my husband would have much preferred 50 or 100.)  The entry fees go to help lobby for improved bike infrastructure in Maine, and to build a positive relationship between bikers and car drivers. You might be surprised by how anti-bike some people can be.

I did not ride this.

 

Or any of these wonderful vintage bikes from the Owl’s Head Transportation Museum.

Here’s me with my modern, light weight carbon fiber FELT bike.

 

Which rides like a dream so that I could ham it up with the Lobster Queen at the end of  30 miles!
