Fall Mystery Ride

Submitted by Ruth Doughty

About 25 mystery riders gathered in Ellis Hall after church on Sunday, Nov. 2. After a brief introduction they bravely headed out, not knowing where they were going, but armed with clipboards full of directions to follow and questions to answer along the way. The directions were challenging and the questions tough, but the mystery riders were diligent and determined as they made their way along "a wide road" (Broadway) onto a "happy incline" (Pleasant Hill) and to a "dark, sharp road" (Black Point). Participants finished their mystery ride at beautiful Kettle Cove in Cape Elizabeth.

Because temperatures were low and winds were high, folks drove back to Ellis Hall where they were greeted with hot cider and enjoyed a brown bag lunch. After lunch, questions were reviewed and winners determined.

The Arrison's, the Dunn's and Doreen Gay did a great job of sticking to the speed limit while following directions and answering questions. Our first prize winners were the Morrison's. Congratulations Brad and Betsy! Hope you're enjoying those donuts and apple cider. A fun time was had by all and we hope more riders will join in the mystery ride another year.
