The Mountain Ear | Thursday, May 16, 2013 | Page 19 As the Wheel Turns Cycling the old course of the Saco River By Peter Minnich

Cycling the flatlands north of Fryeburg Village is a spring- time ritual. The maze of paved roads between Routes 113 and 5 offers miles of pleasant ped- aling, past fresh-plowed fields, with panoramic mountain views to the west. Many rid- ers head for the Stowe Store or the Basin Picnic Area as turnaround destinations. We decided to take a slightly dif- ferent tack for a ride last week: Sally and I attempted to cycle around the entire Old Course Peter Minnich of the Saco River.
