38 miles - Bath to Gardiner, Maine
The Kennebec Estuary Land Trust (KELT), one of our local alliance organizations, is assisting towns from Bath to Gardiner in developing a trail dedicated to active transportation -- the proposed Capital to the Coast Trail. The group will start at the Freight Shed on Commercial Street in Bath at noon (fuel up at the Bath Farmer’s Market next door at Waterfront Park) and end in Gardiner in time to join the 5:30 bike parade at their Ride into Summer celebration.
The Bath Freight Shed together with KELT invite you and other local bike/pedestrian advocates to join an exploratory group ride of the proposed Capital to the Coast Trail (38 miles) on Saturday, May 25th, Noon - 6pm.
Purpose:
This self-supported bicycle ride will explore the interim route of two proposed long-distance trails. Participants will enjoy scenic views of the rivers that flow into Merrymeeting Bay, take photos for promotion and help build energy for trail development. Your feedback on the positive and challenging aspects of the route will help us design the best trail possible!Route:
A group ride on paved roads from Bath to Gardiner with frequent rest & regroup stops. Group pace ~10-12 mph, the route is mostly flat with hills in the final section.
For organizers, supporters and those curious about the proposed Androscoggin to the Kennebec Trail (Bath to Brunswick) and Merrymeeting Trail (Topsham to Gardiner). Ride is limited to 25 participants.Cost:
Free! Anticipate spending ~ $20 on snacks at local businesses to show trail communities that cyclists are an economic boost.
Registration is required by May 17, and we are capping the ride at 25 participants.Email Alicia Hepburn, KELT Project Director, or call at 207-442-8400 for more details, registration and carpooling information.
