Best Bike Ride Ever? Very possibly!

The air was crisp and cool. It smelled of pine and sweet earth. The sound of gravel under the tires and birds in the trees. Since we were up early to see the sunrise, we were on the trail early, too. 25 miles of beauty on Acadia's Carriage roads. Only horses (and carriages, though we didn't see any, bikes and hikers allowed. The scenery was stunning. The pictures don't even come close to doing it justice. Crystal clear lakes surrounded by fall colors. Long high vista's from a mountain top down over the lakes and bays. Often we were alone on the trail, but when we weren't, most everyone was friendly. We ended this beautiful day at Galyn's Restaurant. Owned by Pat's childhood friend Gail and her husband , Pat's friend, Rick. Had a lovely time catching up and everything was delicious! Especially the fresh, perfectly cooked mussels!Read more
