The Maine Lighthouse Ride benefits the Eastern Trail Alliance, an organization dedicated to building a 65-mile greenway from Kittery to South Portland, Maine. Our goal is to have a fun and safe ride in 2021. This means that packet pickup and race start times may be different from past years. Once registered, we will keep you updated on the specifics. There will be staggered start times with our Century riders starting first. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, there will be no post ride gathering as in years past, but we promise a fantastic “To Go” box filled with a great Maine lunch complete with a beverage. All routes begin and end at the beautiful oceanfront campus of Southern Maine Community College (SMCC) in South Portland. Rides are self-guided, with maps and cue sheets available to download and print, or to store on a phone or other mobile device. More information on each of the four different ride routes: Century Ride (100 miles), Metric Century Ride (62 miles), 40 Mile Ride, 25+ Mile Ride
