The Plan
We will meet in West Market Square to start our overnight adventure. After introductions and reviewing the plan for the trip we will load boats and gear onto our bikes. Depending on the trails we choose we will have a 15-20 mile mixed surface ride to Orono. From there we will inflate the rafts, load the bikes on the rafts, and head down river 2 miles to our campsite for the night. The following morning we will paddle and bike 7 miles back to downtown.
