Ride in the Trek Across Maine
Were you born to ride? Or maybe you just want to challenge yourself. If so, the annual Trek Across Maine, which is a benefit for the American Lung Association, is the bicycle ride you should consider doing. Every June, more than 2,000 cyclists hit the road from Sunday River’s mountains to the ocean of Belfast. The trek has historically been a three-day event but there’s now a two-day option that starts at Colby College in Waterville. Register, raise funds, train and then hit the open road. Maine is gorgeous; see a whole bunch of it on two wheels.
