Not a member of the League of American Bicyclists yet? Join Today! | Bicyclists from across Maine, New England, several other states and Canada gather each summer at the Maine Bike Rally, co-hosted by the Bicycle Coalition of Maine, The Casco Bay Bicycling Club, Merrymeeting Wheelers, and local cyclists. The League of American Bicyclists has chosen the 2008 rally as the National Bike Rally, and over 500 cyclists from throughout the country are expected to attend.
This three-day event features more than 30 rides to choose from both off-road and on-road, some as short as five miles, others 100 miles long. They wind along country lanes, on forest trails and through scenic valleys in western Maine and the White Mountains area of New Hampshire. Several rides will feature a combination of paved and dirt roads, so bicyclists are encouraged to bring their rough-and-ready road or touring bikes.
The Fryeburg Academy in Historic Fryeburg, Maine is the site of the 2008 Rally. Camping, food (including big breakfasts, picnic lunches and all-you-can-eat dinner), all rides, entertainment, and a bike rally T-shirt are included in the affordable, weekend price IF YOU PREREGISTER BY JUNE 25th. Click here for menu information.
All the bike rides are designed to take in the splendor of the region hosting the Maine Bike Rally. In addition to rides, participants enjoy the Maine Bike Expo--with a myriad of cool bikes on display--an Ice Cream Social, an awards ceremony, and other activities. The Maine Bike Rally moves its location around the state of Maine. Past Rallies have taken place in Yarmouth, Bath, Bethel and Belfast. In addition to excellent on-road and off-road riding, participants can take part in other activities, including canoeing, hiking, swimming and visiting museums in the hosting region.
Three bicycle safety and education courses will be offered in Fryeburg during the week before the Maine Bike Rally. Find out more...
