Bar Harbor, Maine

As long as we were this far back east we decide to spend a couple of days in Bar Harbor before coming home. This is the Quimby Inn. We had stayed there before with our Kayak Group when we did the coast of Maine and liked it so much we came back.

We spent a day biking the carriage roads in Acadia National Park. These roads were actually built for carriages and are great hiking and biking roads.

Here we are after hiking to the top of Mt. Champlain.

Beautiful views on the way to the top.

We kayaked on Long Lake on our last morning.

Highland Lake House

After a 25 mile ride today we arrived at the Highland Lake House. It was right on Highland Lake and the German Innkeeper was quite a character.

This was on the Northern Rail Trail. We got to ride on this for about 6 miles this day and another 6 miles the next day. They are finishing off sections at a time and it is super hiking and biking through beautiful areas.

Blue Acorn Inn

The leaves were just starting to turn while we were there..it was beautiful.

Lots of our rides were on the back roads of this area. This was the ride up the Old Post Road. We thought that we would never get to the top of this road, there was always another hill.

The Blue Acorn use to be an old farm house in the 1800's.

Rosewood Country Inn

After about 19 miles of biking and many stops for sightseeing we arrived at our next Inn. They had about 15 acres of beautiful land. Lots of horse property in the area.

Biking in New Hampshire

We probably saw 10 or 12 covered bridges on our travels from Inn to Inn.

On Saturday, Sept. 12th Andy and I flew to New Hampshire for an Inn to Inn bike trip. This is the first B & B we stayed in called the Henniker House in Henniker NH. It was right on the Contoocook River and our balcony was right over the river.
