RANGELEY — Organizers of BikeMaine, a seven-day cycling tour, and town officials are looking for volunteers to help with the three days in September the bike tour will be in town, as well as businesses to participate.
The tour organized by the Bicycle Coalition of Maine, a statewide advocacy group that promotes bicycling and walking in the state in conjunction with adventure tourism, will be in Rangeley Tuesday, Sept. 12, through Thursday, Sept. 14, according to a news release from the Town Clerk’s office. About 400 bicyclists and at least 75 support staff will be staying in Rangeley for three days and two nights. Some will be tenting in the park and others will be staying in local establishments.
BikeMaine provides two meals for the group, and the participants will be on their own for three meals in the Rangeley/Oquossoc community. Activities are being planned and shuttle buses have been donated to take visitors from downtown Rangeley to Oquossoc and on to Noyes Overlook, as well as Height of Land, to give them the Rangeley region experience.
Volunteers are needed to help with many aspects of the event in town, and “we need businesses to get excited about this event,” the news release said.
For more information on the event or volunteering, call the Town Office at 864-3326 or email townclerk@rangeleyme.org or adminassist@rangeleyme.org.
