in the same strip-mall as Stan and Dan's. The summer mountain bike series is moving to a new night, Fridays. According to Al Hosper's nebikes.com, the dates and locations of the popular mountain bike circuit is June 17 at Thorne Point at Attitash, July 15 at Great Glen Trails, August 19 at Cranmore and September 18 at Bear Notch Ski Touring. Attitash is making a run to return to its mountain bike glory days by hosting the Eastern States Cup Bike Series June 18 and 19. The series is new, getting going last year, and will stop at other ski areas like Mount Snow, Pats Peak and Killington. It's a gravity game, meaning it's for downhill mountain bikers. The race at Attitash is the New Hampshire Championship finals. The six-week Pin the Trail Bike Series returns July 13 to Aug. 17, a single run downhill race league. The Mount Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce cycling committee continues its push to promote the valley as a riding destination. Several lodging properties will have for the third year cycling lodging packages. Bike path members are working on gaining permission from the varied landowners along the planned route. Work on the Fryeburg section of the Maine Mountain Division Trail reportedly is scheduled to take place in the coming weeks. Word is a new cycling club is starting in the Gorham-Berlin area too. They'll probably use North Road some. Marty Basch can be reached through onetankway.com.
Freedom Historical Society to host program on Rufus Porter and the Rufus Porter Museum May 17 FREEDOM — The Freedom Historical Society will present its first program of the 2011 season on May 17 at 7 p.m. at the Freedom Town Hall on Elm Street in Freedom. Robert Boggs, an historian at the Rufus Porter Museum in Bridgton, Maine, will speak on the life of artist, musician, teacher, inventor and publisher Rufus Porter (1792-1884). Porter began life as a painter of miniature portraits, then
experimented with and became known for wall murals of the mountain, farm and lake landscapes around Bridgton, his childhood home, and Portland Harbor. An entire school of “primitive” artistic technique is named for him. The museum is devoted to his work and displays his 1828 murals as well as other examples of his richly varied and remarkable career: primarily a painter, he also founded the “Scientific
American” magazine in 1845 to encourage the innovations which were vital to the Industrial Revolution, many such inventions being of his own design. Porter’s life and family have connections to Porter, Maine as well as Fryeburg Academy and the surrounding area. This program should have something of interest for everybody. All are welcome; refreshments will be served. For more information call (603) 301-1107.
