Adam Craig

Happy birthday, dad. You would’ve been 80 today. Since your favorite breakfast was pancakes, we thought you’d like today being Theo’s first serving. He giggled with delight at the first taste. We love you and miss you and so so wish you’d have gotten to meet your grandson and teach him to play cribbage. Thanks for everything, your quiet competence will be passed along.

Theodore Robert Craig- 7/20/2025. Life is a journey, the real part is just beginning! Lucky to have such a healthy new member of our little family. Endlessly proud of Annie for delivering and nurturing him so perfectly. The future is bright!

Harvey Theodore Craig- 4/14/1946 - 9/30/2024. This photo was taken 365 days before my father passed away. It was a typical day for us, chiropractor appointment in Dover-Foxcroft, went and visited Uncle Keith in the nursing home, then went for a ride. Harv’s whimsical directions took us down a familiar back road, then one only he knew, through tall grass and tree branches we rolled. Eventually we found this spot, just as he remembered it. The next year saw his Parkinson’s journey intensifying, but we didn’t really see the final steep decline until it was upon us. Thanks for everything, dad. You did the best you could in life, right up until the end. So glad we could be here to share these last years, and your last breaths.

Just a quick Valentine’s lap with my love! Annie’s been telling me about the sweet new Horse Ridge trails, then, what do you know, we got an email from saying there is a BLM public comment period open for the Horse Ridge Recreation Area. Sure seems like an awesome opportunity to share your support for such an awesome riding area, and what you’d like to see there in the future! COTA has great tips on their site for commenting.

Join and I this week for the Wednesday Webinar at noon. We’ll be discussing Maine’s awesome MTB culture and the trail building effort behind it all. For the record, we’ve tried, but one cannot simply wave their hand and trails appear. 😂 with the scenic.

If you’re going to work around the Solstice, better have good lights! Plus, a solid crew, equipment and attitude… Been an awesome push to get trusses up and first layer of roof sheathing just before the obligatory December flood. Back at it now, details on the way to installing roofing, plus a couple commute options to keep morale up! Cheers

Bike are fun and all, but tremendously thankful to be back working on our home here in Maine. Lucky to have Annie, Dad and a host of skilled friends to support the effort. Sam and Josh both chucked when I said to bring bikes in case we get time for a rjde during our six-day build window. Focus was on framing, sheathing, taping, insulating, taping, strapping and temp windows for our four main walls so Central Maine Crane could stand them up. Luckily we could build the end walls in the garage, worked out well with the one rainy and one snowy day… Now we’re waiting on roof trusses, should have them on and covered in December. That’s the right timing, no? Really neat seeing the shape Jesse created for us becoming reality.

Just out turkey commuting on the feeling thankful for free tattoos and cool, simple bikes. Wonder how is liking his new ink from …? Looked like the singlespeed family put on quite a show out there! Who can confirm? Also, thanks for sending me the results, Tobin. Bike racing feels a world away at the moment but I will always appreciate it so much.

Can’t say as though I’ve had snowmaking affect a night ride before… Either way, needed to take down that last course tape on Jackpot. and Rekon lights doing their best in the frozen/slick/awesome conditions…

Working on the mountain is great but this project below the base area is easily the most fun we’ve had all year. Carter and I turned this old log yard into a little flow trail that’s ready to be enjoyed by riders of all abilities traveling from the base area down to the outdoor center. Also loop-able via West Branch for skill/giggle progression. We just wrapped up, trail is closed for a couple days to dry out but if the weather stays good it’ll be rideable soon! Thanks to trail boss Josh for dropping some sign posts by, now we just need a name… Trance E-lite for commuting and flow check duty!

Finally got the Glory built so figured it was time to peel the tarp off our neglected house project and get that going again. After a quick skid down the front yard hill… Downhill bikes are different, and so excellent. Stoked to get to know this new generation Glory! And to watch the riders rally theirs down the Mont St. Anne track today for the final of the year! Much love to and for helping this come together!

“Looks good sitting by the road with a For Sale sign, doesn’t it?” is a quote I remember vividly from childhood. In the winter dad’s carpentry business would be slower and he’d take the opportunity to do some auto mechanic work. Some winters he’d buy a totaled car at auction, fix it up, maybe drive it a bit, especially if it was something fun like a Camaro, then sell it the next summer. Thanks for teaching me a bit about cars, Harv, and for the assist in getting the Del Sol spiffed up for it’s new spot on the lawn until someone wants it. 1995 Honda Del Sol, 204k mi, 5-speed, runs and drives good. Bout as rusty as a car that was driven to Sugarloaf every winter weekend from 1995 to 2016, when it’s original owner, John Chapman quit driving and skiing at age 90. Dad says two grand but the sign says $1800, make us an offer. action shot by
