Cycling for 25 years

Why The Name Summer Feet?

 The first days of summer were the hardest, trying to squeeze everything in and trying to adapt to the freedom of summer vacation. Freed from the constraint of a calendar, our days were a flurry of activity. In the beginning, we danced quick-footed dances across the rocky edges of the coastline and pavement warmed by the July sun. As summer wore on, the sense of urgency faded, and the days settled into their own rhythms. Tans deepened, hair lightened, and feet adapted to a shoeless existence, toughening to meet the challenges of carefree days. Soon, we had summer feet and could move barefoot through the woods and along the shore.

Along the way, I decided that summers on the Maine coast needed to be more than memories, so I combined the shimmering beauty of Maine with my love of cycling and created Summer Feet – Maine Coast Cycling Adventures. Summer Feet believes in spending days moving at your own pace, enjoying the outdoors surrounded by a group of people, or off with your best friend. I have created unique cycling trips designed to show you the best of Maine and beyond/ Combining the idyllic days of youth with the comforts of adulthood; beautiful rides, charming inns, wonderful restaurants, and the friendliest guides in the industry.
I hope that you will join us.

Many Happy Days,
Norman

Views were amazing. Guides were friendly and personable. Lobster roll was delicious. I upgraded to the ebike (first time riding one) and 10/10 recommend it. I wasn't looking for a workout. Just wanted to see the sights and enjoy myself. Portland was my favorite stop from a New England cruise.

Five Stars to Rick (our guide) and the folks at Summer Feet Cycling. The ride was perfectly tailored to our group of nine middle aged individuals. The sights were terrific and the lobster role for lunch was the best I have ever eaten. Thanks for making our time in Maine a memorable experience.

Our Summer Feet cycle along the Maine coast was glorious. In early September, we had perfect weather. We cycled along breathtaking views. Then we caught our breath in quaint Maine towns and fishing villages. Each evening our luggage was waiting for us at a charming inn, where we were served breakfast before heading out the next morning. The Summer Feet staff were friendly and efficient. We will hope to plan another Summer Feet trip soon! Pedal The Coast
