View Waterboro Hollis Loop in a larger map
The Waterboro Hollis Loop heads west and begins a rolling climb to the town of Waterboro. Frame and Wheel was tempted to add on Middle Road which ventures further into the hills, but decided against it given that there was likely to be some ice and plenty of sand on this remote climb. The route then heads north on Route 202 and then east on Route 5 and then picks up the Lyman Dayton Loop for the return through Hollis. It is a good endurance ride of reasonable duration and it does not take the rider to far out into the woods. Total moving time was 272 minutes and a distance of 82 miles. Average moving speed was 18.1 miles per hour although Frame and Wheel felt slower because of the moisture on the roads. Maximum elevation was 311 feet and total elevation gain was 3,573 feet. Maximum grade was 15% due to the return by Mitchell Road. The HTC Incredible held up fine. It is difficult to check progress while riding because of the screen. There is also a good chance that the phone is dropped if it is being checked while on the bike (not to mention the risk of simply crashing into something while fiddling with the phone).
