Fryeburg Frolic (100, 75, 50 mi)

The Fryeburg Frolic Century attempts to be a kinder, gentler century even though it passes through the hills of western Maine, up to the edge of the White Mountains. It starts at the University of Southern Maine, Gorham Campus, off Rt. 114. The route to Fryeburg winds through pine woods and small villages, past lakes and around the Burnt Meadow Mountains. With an Indian Summer day, the Fryeburg food stop, near a beach on a quiet bend of the Saco River, may include some swimming. The return ride follows the Saco River, even though you only get to glimpse it now and then. It includes the back road from Hiram to Cornish – a classic stretch of understated Maine beauty.
There are four food stops on the ride, and a ride-end meal buffet. Rain or shine ride. FMI, kob22225@mac.com.
Registration 6:30AM. The Frolic departs the USM Field House in Gorham at 7:00AM (see also Sunday Gorham ride).
