Pedal the Penobscot  celebrates cycling and supports Bangor’s wild back yard. The ride offers five distance options, from a family-friendly 12 miles to a must-do ‘flat’ century route. This one-day ride offers beautiful views of the mighty and historic Penobscot River, tours small towns, and winds along rural roads. Challenge yourself to go farther than you’ve gone before!
