Below is a compilation of helmet camera footage captured at Highland. It shows most of what the place has to offer feature wise. Helmet cameras can be deceptive in showing scale, difficulty, and trail details so take it with a grain of salt. Highland MTB park has a little bit of everything for everyone. A lot of places say this but Highland actually delivers. They have everything from technical downhill trails to pump tracks and everything in between. Highland has been designed to be a fully featured park for everyone, not just experienced riders. They strive very hard to make the park enjoyable for riders as their skills progress and become more advanced during their riding at the park over time.

A Beautiful Central Maine Bike Ride Route One of the challenges of riding a bike in Maine is to find good routes to ride that other cyclists have previously enjoyed. There are endless great ride options available but it is difficult to sit down with a map and find a route that is “Cyclist Friendly”. You don’t know if the roadway is falling apart or if it is so narrow it isn’t safe or comfortable to ride. Unless you have a topographical map you have no idea what kind of terrain you will encounter. And no map can tell you what kind of traffic to expect on your ride. We would like to compile a list of  “user generated” ride resources for great bike rides in Central Maine so this is the beginning. I recently “Stumbled Upon” such a resource, ...

Hello Everyone, Winter's almost over. You gotta love the anticipation of an early spring, thoughts of ridding outside, some new gear, and everyone is excited to see grass! January and February are the tough months for me. Tough to get excited or motivated. Next week, I'm starting my training. I think I said that in two or three e-mails in the last few months, but I was just kidding. Paul & Dave, at the shop, were making fun of me. I bought new tires and they said I should get at least 5000 miles out of them or in my case 10-15 years. Angela should be on her way home from a week of Heritage tour traveling with Mackenzie. It's been a busy week with my younger two girls home, 3 JV hockey games, 5 Varsity practices, the store open 85 hours, and we're preparing for the first round of the p...

Hello Everyone, Last week my hockey team went from 7 wins 1 loss to 7 wins 4 losses. 3 losses in one week! Compound that with a couple injuries and some sickness and lets just say we had a bad week. We traveled to “the county” to play two of those games and we had to spend the night in Presque Isle so I figured I’d have some interesting stories to tell when I got home. Apparently the kids sensed that I was not happy and not one of them tried the old, lean a trash can, half full of water, on someones door and knock trick! 26 kids and not one incident. Either I have them well trained and they had an off week, or well…. lets just go with the first one. I really wanted to write a Sunday night e-mail but I was not only blank but pissed at the team. So I put it off. Mond...
