We had been very much looking forward to seeing many familiar faces and sharing information about the Bike Borderlands destinations and the Ride With Gratitude campaign.
With that said, since we were planning on being in Carrabassett anyway, we are pleased to share that we will now be hosting our Tour de Borderlands stop in Carrabassett Valley on Saturday, August 5th! Group rides will depart from the Carrabassett Valley Outdoor Center at 10:00 AM.
