Description

The Eastern Trail and Banded Brewing are excited to host their first Bike & Brew of 2023. Guests are invited to meet at Banded Brewing in Biddeford (10:30 AM) and then Eastern Trail staff will lead guests on a bike Tour of the Saco portion of the trail. After we work up a good sweat we will return to Banded for refreshments! People can meet at Banded Brewery and then ride as a group using the on road ET route to the hospital parking lot by the ET entrance. If riders prefer they can drive to that parking lot and just ride the trail south with us when we arrive there. We will ride the trail south for an hour and then turn around and ride back to the parking lot and back to Banded via the same on road route. This is a free event however, donations to the Eastern Trail are most appreciated and can be submitted during the checkout process. 10:30 AM - Meet at Banded Brewing Biddeford (13-W, 32 Main St, Biddeford, ME 04005) 10:00 AM-12:30 PM: Bike the Eastern Trail with ET staff12:30-2:30: Beers, Relaxation & Fun at Banded Brewing If you are interested in learning more about volunteer opportunities for this event please email [email protected] About the Eastern Trail The Eastern Trail has 22 off-road miles from Bug Light (in South Portland) to Kennebunk, as well as a scenic on-road route that mostly follows quiet country roads. Experienced bike riders and hikers can enjoy a beautiful journey from South Portland’s Bug Light Park on Casco Bay (near Portland) to Kittery’s Piscataqua River. The vision to create the Eastern Trail started in the early 1990’s, led by John Andrews and several others. More on that early history here. Today, to complete this vision, we are aggressively developing plans and funds to both close a critical 1.6-mile gap between South Portland and Scarborough and then add 19 miles between Kennebunk and South Berwick. The trail is also working to complete a1.6 mile Scarbourugh Gap, three miles of new off-road trail through the heart of Biddeford and Saco, and 19 miles of new trail between Kennebunk and South Berwick.
