Road Biking
Want a challenging climb up steep, mountain roads? Maine’s got that. Is a picturesque pedal across country hills more your speed? Maine’s got that, too. How about a nice, flat, breezy tour along a stretch of quiet coast? We’re there for you.
The Bicycle Coalition of Maine provides a terrific list of resources for road cyclists looking for spots to ride. The Coalition also posts information about its own rides and races as well. The state is also part of the long-distance, interstate trail project known as the East Coast Greenway that, when completed, will connect northernmost Maine to Florida.
If you want to enjoy riding with a little luxury, Maine-based companies such as Summer Feet Cyclingoffer guided tours the mix road biking with hiking, visiting lighthouses and even enjoying lobster rolls.
