Hey, did anyone else see that there's new pavement going down on Plains Rd in Poland?!
I also hear that Auburn is putting new pavement down on Hardscrabble Rd.
How awesome is that? New PRs coming soon, maybe!
No ride this evening, obviously. We are hoping for a dry Wednesday ride, leaving from Geiger school at 6pm.

Hi folks,
Just a reminder that our club is starting our weekly group rides [today], June 22. There will be 3 weekly group rides to start. We'll reassess our ride schedule in a month or so after we see how well attended these group rides are...
MONDAY 6 pm: Meet at Lewiston-Auburn Airport parking lot. 14 mph all-group ride (as we've always done on Mondays!)
WEDNESDAY 6 pm: Meet at Geiger School in Lewiston. Different groups sorted by predicted pace...A,B, C, and D pace rides.
FRIDAY 9 am: Meet at Lewiston-Auburn Airport parking lot. C or D paced ride depending on who attends. We will utilize different courses each week.
Remember, please attend only if you are feeling healthy and have NOT knowingly come in contact with a Covid 19 positive individual recently. Bring your mask for pre- and post-ride socializing, but masks will not be required during the ride, unless we group together to assist in a tire or mechanical repair.
See you on the road!
The MCC Board
For more information about our COVID-19 precautions, please see the announcement on this page, or visit our website mainecyclingclub.com
The MCC Board of Directors met (via Zoom) tonight, 6/15/2020, and made the following decisions:
1. Club rides will begin next week. The rides will include the Monday 6pm ride, Wednesday 6pm rides, and the new Friday morning 9am ride.
2. Rides are open ONLY to MCC members. (Link to join below)
We expect that all members will only ride if they are currently feeling healthy and have not knowingly come in contact with Covid 19 positive individuals in the previous two weeks.
3. The Monday and Friday rides will begin and end at the Lewiston-Auburn Airport parking lot (Lewiston Junction Road). The Wednesday ride will, once again, start and finish at Geiger School. We encourage members to spread out when parking and preparing for the ride.
4. A reminder: The Monday ride is a 14 mph ride so everyone will be riding at the same pace. The Friday ride is a C/D ride where we again expect most riders will be at the same pace. The Wed night ride often involves different paces and we will ask riders to group accordingly.
5. Rides will be broken down into groups of no more than 10. Whenever a group of 10 is ready to ride, we will ask them to set out. We will space the rides out by approximately 5 minutes in between. There will be a sweeper assigned to each day’s ride to ensure that everyone finishes safely.
6. Riders should carry a mask and use it when preparing their bike to ride and for any after ride socializing. Masks are not required during the ride but should be carried in case we need to congregate to help change a flat or repair a mechanical problem. We encourage riders to carry a small bottle of hand sanitizer as well.
7. We remind all riders NOT to congregate at intersections or when the ride regroups as we want to avoid situations where observers might take offense with our activity.
8. There should be no pace line riding on any MCC ride at this stage in the season.
9. We will set up a survey monkey to solicit your feedback on our group ride program (details to follow). We plan to meet again as a board in a couple of weeks to assess how the riding program is progressing and to decide if we should add additional scheduled rides and make any other changes to these protocols.
10. We are all excited to once again get out on our bikes as a group. Please help us to do this safely by following the guidelines we have described above.
