Center at noon. Breakfast is served before the ride,
starting at 7AM. A barbecue with
food & music will be going on in the afternoon. There will also

You can start registering for the 2008 ride right now.
For those of you that didn't hear the feedback, pre-registration really
streamlines the process and will make your experience much more
enjoyable. You'll be whisked right off the street and into your spot in
the line-up.... no lines.... no waiting. Just part of the "your feet
never touch the ground" experience!
This ride is a 50-mile police motorbike escorted ride which
starts and ends at Five Points Shopping Center, Biddeford. It travels
through Saco, Buxton, Gorham, Scarborough, and Old Orchard Beach. From the time you take off
at 10AM, your feet will not touch the
ground for the next 2 hours. Registration for the ride & day's
