Basic Itinerary Overview Day 0 — Arrival (Aug 26) Settle into lodging, welcome dinner, and ride briefing. Day 1 — Lakeside Backcountry Ride Introductory ride through forest roads to a remote lakeside location with a prepared shoreside lunch and time to relax. Day 2 — Eastport Expedition Scenic ADV riding north to Eastport, the easternmost city in the U.S., with waterfront exploration and a classic Maine lobster roll stop. Day 3 — Wilderness Day Deeper backcountry exploration along either the Bold Coast or West Grand Lake region depending on conditions — the heart of the adventure. Day 4 — Bar Harbor Finale More relaxed scenic coastal ride ending with time in Bar Harbor before the final group dinner. Departure Morning (Aug 31) No rush at all — even if you’re just keeping it on the radar for now, that’s perfectly fine. If things settle on your end and timing works out, we can revisit it then.
