Clear skies and a brilliant sun greet me mid-morning as I wake. After rubbing the sleep out of my blurry, squinting eyes, I respond to the sun's warm, welcoming rays by lounging around the campsite until almost noon. After thoroughly enjoying the sunshine, I get down the business of planning the day's biking activities. Today I'm feeling a bit peckish for some road biking buffet.

My planned route will take me on a clockwise jaunt around Mount Desert Island. The ride promises a variety of scenery including forest, mountain, and ocean settings.

After my ride I arrive back at the campsite, clean up, then drive out to Testa's in Bar Habor to dine on not one but two Maine lobsters! To top things off, I wash everything down with locally brewed Cadillac Mountain Stout. Yummm, dark beer!

I tackle the twin crustaceans with two sturdy forks. The seafood treat serves as a warm and tasty reward for my chilly day in the bike saddle. After dinner I drive back to the campsite where I cap off my evening with a little work on the website before hitting the hay.
