The Dempsey Challenge Two-Day Ride presented by Specialized aims to challenge you in new ways, with back-to-back days of cycling new routes that include some great climbing and coastal Maine views.
This exclusive, intimate ride is geared toward the accomplished cyclist and offers a taste of Maine hospitality and authenticity while raising funds for those impacted by cancer. Riders will experience autumn in Maine from its iconic rocky coast to its rustic countryside, enjoy great food and drink, and be part of the camaraderie the Dempsey Challenge is known for. On day two, the Two-Day Ride route will hook up with the existing Dempsey Challenge course to finish the last 30 miles with one day riders. As you approach the finish line, you’ll be greeted by cheering spectators and our lively Festival in the Park, complete with a traditional Maine lobster bake! The Two-Day Ride registration fee is $150, plus a fundraising minimum of $1,000.
