Wyatville Loop

Wyatville Loop: 27.23 miles
TANDEM Pedal Time: 2 hours 23 minutes, average speed 11.3

We needed a morning break from resume writing so decided to bike the Wyatville Loop. We packed a lunch, remembering that stops on this route were non-existent. We found a grassy patch to break after climbing the category 5 hill found on this loop. It’s amazing how good a simple sandwich can taste after a challenging incline.

Lunch was cut short when we found a tick crawling up Dennis’ leg. We brushed ourselves off and hopped back on the bike to pedal towards Lewiston. The sky was beginning to fill with dark clouds so we called our daughter, Jill, and asked her to meet us in Lewiston with the van. Some rain did fall after we reached home but we escaped the threatening thunderstorms occurring in surrounding areas. We will have to try completing this loop another time when the weather is more acceptable for cycling.
