BikeMaine 2018 looks good
BikeMaine is a weeklong supported tour run by the Bicycle Coalition of Maine. It is superbly well organized, and always features great routes and great food (prepared by local groups). About 50-60 miles per day for 6 days, with a rest day in the middle. I rode it last year in Washington County (as Downeast as Downeast gets) and it was great.
Anyway, they've just announced that next year's event (9/8 - 15) will be in the St. John River Valley in northern Aroostook County (aka "The County") way up by the Canadian Border. Route details are not available yet, but you can count on it being very good. This is a very culturally distinct area (French Canadian) and I expect it is beautiful. I think this should be a great tour, and I will be tempted to do it if I am in shape to do so. So a heads up.
Sen. Susan Collins is from The County.
