But, alas, the Stowe Store is gone, so we ended up at Rosie’s in Lovell this year. It’s a good place to go. Several groups converged at the store. Steve and a dozen other riders started at Cranmore and rode out 302 to Fryeburg where another group started at the Maine Info Center at the state line. Both groups headed up Route 5, across Fish Street, where more riders joined at the old Harbor Restaurant. We rode north on 113 to North Fryeburg, then east to Lovell on Harbor Road. Harbor Road is one of the nicest cruises in this part of Maine. Low traffic, good pavement and plenty of scenery to be had along the Old Course of the Saco River. Turtles on Turtle Rock, herons wading, kestrels on the wires, and turkeys in the field animate the scenery. The road riding in North Fryeburg-Lovell is far more peaceful than back in the Mt. Washington Valley. It’s a nice place to go for early season warm-up rides. I didn’t do an actual count, but there must have been at least 30 riders at Rosie’s Store. The group split up, some going north through the Narrows and some head- ing back west to ride Green Hill Road south to Webster’s Store.
