FRYEBURG – The 21st annual Maine Bike Rally in Fryeburg on July 10-12 will feature bicycle riding for all levels of cyclists plus live music and a full schedule of family-friendly entertainment.
The rally includes more than 35 road and off-road rides in western Maine and New Hampshire’s Mount Washington Valley. They include routes meandering through the White Mountain National Forest; the challenging Wicked Hilly Triple Notched Century; a bicycle tour of local gardens; a star-gazing night ride; visits to covered bridges, historic sites and swimming holes; several mountain bike rides; and trips that combine hiking and biking.
Based at Fryeburg Academy, the rally also will have a time trial race (where each cyclist races against the clock), bike parade, ice cream social, films, a musical performance by Al Hospers and Sounds Clever, a bike expo, art show and other entertainment.
The all-inclusive weekend price covers tenting, meals, rides, activities and a rally T-shirt. Registration fees for those who sign up by June 25 start at $90 for adults, $30 for children ages 6 to 15, with children 5 and under attending for free.
