DOVER-FOXCROFT — On Saturday, June 27 the United Bikers of Maine (UBM), Piscataquis County will be holding the chapter’s sixth annual Cancer Ride. All monies raised will donated to several area cancer patients.

The ride will cover approximately 200 miles from Dover-Foxcroft to Rangeley, with a stop for lunch at the Red Onion in Rangeley or elsewhere along the way if participants so choose. The procession departs from Irving’s on West Main Street at 9 a.m. with registration from 8-8:45 a.m. Donations can be made at $10 per bike and ride T-shirts, long-sleeved shirts and tank tops will be sold.

For more information, on the Cancer Ride please call Roxane at 876-2580 or Karen at 564-3073. Information can also be found on the chapter’s Facebook page or at www.ubm-usa.org.

Over the last five years, the UBM Piscataquis County has raised over $12,000 for cancer patients in the region through its rides. The chapter will host another ride on Saturday, Aug. 8 heading north to Aroostook County to benefit children in Piscataquis County through the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Maine

UBM Piscataquis County members would like to thank their sponsors, as without these benefactors the rides would not be possible. Sponsors provide help such as getting the ride T-shirts ready, putting up posters and making other preparations.
