SUMMARY:MOAC General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Carlie Casey of Bethel to Present on Nearly 1\,000 Miles of Nordic Skiing in Norway\nIn mid-February 2023\, Carlie Casey and Ann Speth of Bethel\, Maine flew to Norway with the intention of cross-country skiing as far north as possible before the melting snow would put an end to their skiing adventure. Skiing the entire length of Norway had been a dream of Carlie’s after several weeks-long trips in prior years. As it turns out\, starting in the south and skiing in one continuous path northward\, using marked routes connecting Norway’s backcountry huts\, was not as straightforward as maps and websites suggested. \nJoin Carlie as he shares breathtaking slides of the “birthplace” of Nordic skiing\, describes problem-solving on such a trip\, and opens his pack to reveal what they both learned about the gear best suited to hut-to-hut skiing. Carlie will share his experience with the different qualities of Nordic skis and gear. \nCarlie is a credentialed Technical Director (TD) by the Federation of International Skiing (FIS) and the US Ski and Snowboard Association (USSSA). He was a long-time West Coast TD before moving back East to join his late wife\, near their hometown. As a FIS TD he has been around the world working ski races and helps the local Chisholm Ski Club at Black Mountain of Maine\, he is also a key cog in the Bethel Trails program. You can find him in the X-C Ski stadium helping with set and design or on the trail making sure the rules are followed in multiple international races held in the U.S. \nNot only an avid Nordic skier\, Carlie has accomplished both long-distance biking and hiking goals\, including the Appalachian Trail more than once. \n\nIn addition to the presentations\, the meeting is a chance to hear about recent outings\, hear about upcoming outings\, and socialize with other MOACers.  It’s also a chance for new or prospective members to ask questions.  Meeting begins at 7:00\, but come at 6:30 to socialize and meet people. \nLocation: the Allen Avenue Unitarian Universalist Church\, 524 Allen Avenue\, Portland (near Northgate Shopping Plaza).  Here’s a Google Map link.

SUMMARY:Ossippee River Class 2 Whitewater trip
DESCRIPTION:I have lead this trip annually since I joined MOAC in 1998. Will try it again on April 20th. 7 miles of Class 2 whitewater. Not a show and go trip. To join you need to contact me to discuss experience and what gear you are planning to use. This includes appropriate clothing for the occasional unplanned swim because at this part of the year the water is cold. For those interested and contact me I will provide details for where to meet and the time to meet. Plan to stop along the river for lunch. Also this is not a raft trip. We use either canoes or whitewater kayaks ( P.S. your fiberglass sea kayak would not be a good choice) Anyway give me a call. Trip is also weather dependent. Not going to reenact a previous trip where some of us became members of the “Not So Bright Bunch club”. I am hoping for a day with no rain and hopefully relatively warm. ( as I age\, it is no longer as much fun running the river when it is barely above freezing or in a rainstorm….) Not going to replay Trip is also being offer through the Penobscot\, Paddle and Chowder Society (PPCS) … Hopefully we can have another good day on the river.

SUMMARY:Bug to Barrel.  32 mile Round Trip Bike ride
DESCRIPTION:We’ll meet at Bug Light Park in South Portland at 10 am on Sunday.  We’ll bike the Eastern Trail from there to Barrelled Souls Brewery in Biddeford\, stop for a yummy beer\, and back again.  The ride is about 1/3 on paved bike path\, 1/3rd on roads\, and 1/3rd on gravel.  This is a great chance for people considering the trip from St. Johnsbury to Burlington Vermont in June to see how their bikes do on an assortment of conditions\, and how you do on a longer ride.  Attempts will be made to stick together\, or at the least\, we’ll meet up at Barrelled Souls.  But if people want to split up\, that’s fine too.  Personally\, I aim to be faster than a 10mph pace in the saddle.  I’m no speed demon.  If you don’t feel like you’re heart is pumping below 15\, I’ll see you at the Brewery! \nBarrelled Souls is my personal favorite brewery in Maine\, they specialize in really big beers\, like 14 to 15%\, and also sours.  They’ve got a few basic beers if your tastes don’t extend to the big and sour.  Feel free to email at patrickjamescoon@gmail.com with any questions. \n
