Great Maine Outdoor Weekend

: Luc Roy of Norway rides during the Mountain Bike Ramble at the Shepard’s Farm Family Preserve in Norway on Sunday. The 20-acre preserve is one of four Western Foothills Land Trust properties that hosted activities over the Great Maine Outdoor Weekend. Shepard’s Farm Family Preserve was donated to the WFLT in 2010 by the Detert Family and is open year round for non-motorized recreation. The former dairy farm features five single-track mountain biking trails and five multi-use trails. “We spent a lot of time walking out here, dreaming about these trails,” said John Harvey, owner of the Green Machine Bike Shop, who helped design and build the trails.
