Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year’s Trust to Trail Joy Ride Fundraiser Saturday June 29. We had a wonderful ride and a great time connecting with everyone and celebrating all things BCM! We hope you’ll join us again next year for the ride!
The Trust to Trail Joy Ride is our annual fundraising ride, and the the PERFECT way to celebrate summer in Maine while supporting the Bicycle Coalition of Maine!
This ride is full of JOY:
- All proceeds support the Bicycle Coalition of Maine’s education and advocacy efforts. Our educational programs are offered for free statewide and our local, state, and advocacy efforts work for all Mainers to provide access to safer (and better) walking and biking in Maine. Participation on this ride ensures our work can continue!
- 18 miles of supported road riding will take you through quiet Kennebunkport roads and reward you with breathtaking views of Horseshoe Cove, Granite Point, and Goose Rocks Beach. The course is marked with paint, and support vehicles are stationed along the route to assist.
- At Timber Point you’ll enjoy a rest stop with delicious “shore-cuterie” (think: charcuterie, but at the beach!) and more incredible views. There you’ll have the option to explore the 1.4 mile trail that is part of the Rachel Carson Preserve.
- A finish line celebration with a catered box lunch from Mornings in Paris café and live music from the fabulous Ideal Maine Band!
- Post ride celebration with others who care about making Maine better and safe for biking and walking! We’ll have lunch, drinks, games, trail walks, and more at the beautiful Kennebunkport Conservation Trust.
- Want to support a rider and/ or join the festivities without riding? Not a problem! We have a meal ticket only option for you in registration.
