This past summer we took a fun day off from sailing and biked up into Acadia National Park.
Of course we were on eight-speed folding bikes with 20" wheels. Everyone else moved along on real or electric versions. We were getting passed by EVERYONE, and I was tempted to scream at the electrics - that is not bicycling people! But I saved my breath because damn, I needed every ounce of it to get up hills that were climbs from hell.
I think I'm jealous that I haven't reached the point where I need an electric bike, but also glad I haven't reached that point. Of course I don't want to try one because I'll probably find out I actually ready for one and don't know it.
We
brought along our lunches this time and sat on the lawn under an apple
tree in front of the Jordan Pond restaurant and visitors center. This
was the view. It was simply beautiful The park is a gem. We are lucky to have it.
