A cycling route starting in Tremont, State of Maine, United States of America.
Overview
About this route
This route travels on about 65% dirt roads (with a short section of non-technical trail riding), and 35% pavement, and there is a short non-technical trail section. Â A number of these dirt roads are one lane and are out in a thick forest, with green moss making up the forest bed. Â It's really nice on a sunny day. Â
On Cape Road there are a few picnic tables near a small harbor and boat launch. There is a great view here while snacking on the Clif Bar. About 2/3rds way through is a fire road that takes you to the southernmost point. It ends at a small body of water that eventually becomes Bass Harbor. It's in the middle of nowhere. Parking it at the trail head for Flying Mtn.- -:--
