The 10th annual Women’s Ride, sponsored by the Bicycle Coalition of Maine, will take place on June 5 at L.L. Bean’s Casco Conference Center, Casco Street, Freeport. Staggered start times begin at 8 a.m.

The ride has four distance options – five, 15, 25 and 50 miles. All have beautiful views of the coast, rest stops and support vehicles.

The all-female ride is suited for girls and women of all ages and fitness levels. The ride attracts new cyclists and mother-daughter pairs out for a relaxing Sunday pedal as well as racers and triathletes training for long-distance events such as the Trek Across Maine and the Tri for a Cure.

At the ride’s conclusion, participants can get free massages and participate in yoga. A celebration at Gritty’s Freeport will feature free food, a raffle drawing and live music by the Blueberry Pancakes steel drum band. Participants will receive gift bags with special discounts at Freeport stores on the day of the ride.

All proceeds benefit the coalition’s work to improve bicycling in Maine.
