BREWS and BIKES | Lewiston, Maine
DAY TWO in Maine I woke up in the Hilton Garden Inn in Lewiston/Auburn a mill town 35 minutes north of Portland. There I headed to Mt Apatite to go mountain biking with Disa and Chris from the Central Maine Chapter of the New England Mountain Bike Association gave me a tour. It was pretty intense but I loved it!

I then headed back to Lewiston to visit Baxter Brewery, the third largest brewery in the state. Bill the CEO gave me a tour of the brewery where I had a flight of their delicious beers. My favorite was the Window Seat which a coconut stout! From there I walked over to Fish Bones American Grill to have a quick fish sandwich.
Next up I drove down to Portland the capital where I met with Norman from Summer Feet Cycling. We went cycled around the city and made a stop at two breweries, High Tide Brewery and Urban Farm Fermentory. High Tide was amazing and what I loved about Urban Farm Fermentory was the mead, honey wine.
To finish off the night I headed to one of the best restaurants in the city Five Fifty-Five. I went with their tasting menu, mussels, scallops and the best dish was the lobster mac and cheese!
I hope you loved this video! Have you been to Maine? Please let me know your favorite spots.

Mountain Biking the Carriage Roads in Acadia National Park - Bar Harbor, Maine
Today we are visiting the stunning Acadia National Park in Bar Harbor, Maine. Much to my chagrin there is no mountain biking on the island, but of course that wasn’t enough to stop me from finding an excuse to ride. Way back in the early 20th century a vast network of crushed stone roads were built throughout Acadia National Park for the use of hikers, horse riders, and most importantly, bikers. No cars allowed thank you very much. These trails, commonly referred to as the “Carriage Roads” are in my option one of the coolest ways to experience the park, soak in its beautiful features all while pedaling your little heart out.
But I wasn’t alone for this adventure. My wife and our good friends Jon, Judy, and their daughter all saddled up for our 20 mile, five and a half hour tour of the Carriage Roads.
Along the way we stopped at a handful of the beautiful, granite bridges built throughout the carriage roads. Each one was individually designed with the intent to both blend into the background and be a work of art to admire all on their own.
Once you are done checking out the bridges be sure to plan ahead so you can grab lunch at the Jordan Pond House. This restaurant is right inside the park, has a sweet name, and the expectedly fantastic views are matched by delicious food and drink.
The week we spend exploring the park is something I look forward to doing every year. I am so glad that this year I was able to share our biking adventure with you. If you want to see more videos like this one click subscribe and drop me a note below what you thought of Acadia National Park.
Thank you so much for watching. Now it’s your turn, get out there and ride.

This is the second year of the Western Maine BBQ Festival, we had lots of fun with so much going on we tried our best to capture the essence of such a fantastic contest and venue. While your there you have to check out the local farmers markets and the Oxford Inn for a bite.

Black Mountain of Rumford, Maine
Rumford, Maine will always be home to me..... Since I moved away back in 1993...I have watched Rumford change over the years.... Being on the outside looking in... I now see the town from a different perspective..... I honestly think Rumford has so much potential and could totally survive by using their natural resources if the mill were to close down.....
This video is just an example on where the town could capitalize.
I made this video to show everyone how beautiful Black Mountain of Rumford, Maine is and the potential it has for growth.
Peopel need to get past what it used to be...
And focus on what it could be!!
These are just my opinions and some ideas......
I think Black mountain could become a destination but there needs to be development. Rumford needs to develop hotels or cabins for visitors to stay in when visiting..... There is plenty of land to develop on.
I also think they could build an obstacle course / get sponsors and have visitors come from all over to compete in like they do for Mudderella ( ) and
Tuffmudder ( )
They could do chairlifts up to the top of the mountain during the fall to cater to leaf peepers while selling food and beverages in the lodge and make some sort of event out of it.
