Frame and Wheel rode to the soccer tournaments on Sunday. Temperatures were in the 80s. It felt like mid June, but the air was cool and the shadows were long, a subtle reminder that winter is on its way. The route out to Waterboro is familiar territory. Today, Frame and Wheel heads south on Route 202 and 4A over to Sanford in order to make the games on time. A more challenging and far more scenic route is to push east through to Shapleigh and then drop down into Sanford. There are some great climbs and the roads are peaceful. This area is the beginning of the more mountainous territory of western Maine, but it is at the edge of Frame and Wheel's maximum range which makes it hard to push to far into this area. The way forward is to drive to Waterboro and set out from there, but then if there are multiple flats or a serious mechanical, it becomes difficult to call for help. This was perhaps one of the last warm weekends of the year.
