A few Maine Cycling Club members at 2008 Lobster Ride

Each summer, the Bicycle Coalition of Maine hosts the Maine Lobster Ride & Roll, Maine’s most scenic bike rides along winding country lanes and the breathtaking rockbound coast in gorgeous Midcoast Maine. The ride features four marked routes from 16-100 miles, with fantastic ocean views, fresh ocean air, maps, support services, rest stops with food and water, and a fresh Maine lobster roll dinner. Lobster Riders also get collectable Lobster Ride socks! According to one regular Lobster Rider with a GPS unit, the 50-mile route has a little over 2,000 feet of climbing while the full 100-mile route has about 5,250 feet of climbing.
You might even see a lobster pot, buoy, boat or even a real lobster (lobster sightings not guaranteed but we have a very high success rate!) and Maine's own world-famous Lobster Bike will be there! This fun event benefits the BCM's important education and advocacy work for better bicycling in Maine.
