I created a GPX of this nice leisure country road ride that ends at Lincolnville Beach North of Camden. If I could find a way to post it here I would.
Scenery
Country roads through New England countryside. Some farms and general rural structures. Route goes through the charming little town of Hope, ME. Crosses over Hachet Mountain for some nice country elevation.
Drive Enjoyment
Some good twists but mostly a scenic easy ride over some good tarmac. with the occasional uneven patches due to the frost heave in the winter months. This ride will be much more beautiful in the summer or fall. I did the ride in early spring when things were just starting to bloom.
Tourism Opportunities
Town of Hope, ME. A one signal town in mid coast. Sweet general store. Lincolnville beach is a fun little stretch with Lobster pots and other food faire. Whalestooth pub and a new pizza joint.
Motorcycle Road Additional info
Once done with this route, drop down hwy 1 to the gorgeous town of Camden which is loaded with cool places to eat and visit. Good hotels too.
I have photos to post with this submission, but see no option to include.
