Free BikeMaine event calendar now available
The Bicycle Coalition of Maine (BCM) has produced a free, comprehensive calendar of 2009 Maine bicycle events. The calendar is available at bicycle shops and sports stores throughout Maine. An online version may be found at www.BikeMaine.org.
The BikeMaine Event Calendar includes 61 weekly rides, 156 special events and a listing of Maine bike clubs, organizations and bicycle shops. The calendar features rides on roads and mountain trails, triathlons, races, bike driving classes and bike volunteer opportunities.
"The biking events in the calendar cover all parts of Maine and suit bicyclists of all fitness levels," said Allison Vogt, BCM's executive director. "Biking offers an inexpensive way to relax, exercise, spend time with friends and family and explore our beautiful state."
Rides vary in length from a five-mile Women's Ride for Heart Health in Freeport on May 31 to the 180-mile Trek Across Maine. Special events include a Wildflower Tour in Parsonsfield, a Frogs, Logs and Bogs ride in Bangor, a midnight ride in Orono, Mike's Maine Metric Mountain Mash in Camden and the Spud Cycle Classic in Fort Fairfield.
