ROCKPORT — Maine Sport Outfitters is excited to host the 3rd Annual Turkey Ride next month, an event that features riders riding to Hannaford to purchase a turkey and then riding with the turkey to the Camden Area Food Pantry. 

The event will be held Nov. 13 beginning at 9 a.m. and is a cycling-focused community event for all ages that helps meet the food-security needs of Midcoast Mainers during the Thanksgiving holidays.

The day’s itinerary is simple: Gather at Maine Sport Rockport, cycle to Hannaford to pickup frozen turkeys and sides, cycle to Camden Area Christian Food Pantry (Mt. Battie St.) for drop-off & photos, cycle back to Maine Sport for snacks, community, & post-ride shopping.

There will be different routes varying from 5.8 miles to 10.8 miles. Bike rentals are available.

Registration is free. Riders pay to purchase turkey and side dishes (if desired) at Hannaford.
