MAINE ENVIRONMENTAL NEWS • May 27, 2020
The Bicycle Coalition of Maine today announced the cancellation of its BikeMaine 2020: Katahdin Frontier event, citing the safety of riders, volunteers, host communities, and staff during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. BikeMaine, held annually in a different region of Maine since 2013, was scheduled to take place this year from Sept. 12-19, 2020, and visit the host communities of Old Town, Lincoln, Patten, Millinocket, and Dover-Foxcroft. The ride is capped each year at 450 riders, but also includes more than 70 volunteers. Registered riders have the option of rolling over their registration to 2021, requesting a refund, or donating all or part of their registration.
