Lincoln Benedict sent in this photo, explaining: “I love to bike, ski, and fly, so it stood to reason a month after I purchased a 1960 Cessna 172 I wanted to combine all three! A 40-minute flight (quite the headwind) took me from KBXM to 0B1. From there I took my cross bike (replete with studded snow tires) from the back area (fits nicely with the rear seat removed) and biked seven miles to Sunday River with my super-light Dynafit PDG boots/skis on my back. I bought an uphill access pass and then climbed (with climbing “skins” on my skis) up and down twice. After that it was all downhill to the airport (after a good lunch) and took off for home. Whew! Was quite the adventure but what fun it was!”
Great fun; I often combined two :flying and biking to Iceland ,hopping from airstrip to geysers or worthy spots -waterfalls ,camping-sites. In France hopping to mont ventoux, ,gorges de la Nesque ,one of the must to see things.
It is pretty much a downhill bike ride from Sunday River Ski Area to the Bethel Airport (0B1).
Makes for an expensive ski ticket, but no parking lot worries. I wish I had the plane, time, and money to do the same.
Come to think of it. It is pretty much a downhill flight from Bethel to Brunswick Executive Airport on the coast of Maine near Portland.
How did you get your bike back?
