Hills and Thrills

Old Hallowell Day

Hills and Thrills Bike Ride

7:15AM Saturday - July 20, 2024

The 8th Old Halllowell Day Hills and Thrills bike ride takes cyclists on a journey through the beautiful rolling hills of Hallowell and neighboring communities.  The ride begins at the Boat Landing in downtown Hallowell and takes cyclists on a tour of several roads and hills the city has to offer.  The ride is about 25 miles and climbs over 2000 feet.  The ride ends up back in downtown Hallowell.  

Just for fun - for those who prefer one more hill challenge, there is an optional loop at the end that adds another mile and an additional 200 feet of climb. This detour ascends one of the more notable hills in Hallowell – Central Street and has a gradient of 20%.

This is not a race.

This is a recreational ride for moderately experienced cyclists. Due to the distance and the hills, beginners and children will not do well.

Registration: Online pre-registration recommended.  Pre-registration closes on Friday, July 17th.  The tax-deductible fee defrays the cost of the event - road signs, posters, t-shirts, etc. Any remaining amounts go towards Old Hallowell Day itself, which is a non-profit (501c) organization whose goal is to celebrate a local community.

Start Check in: 7:00-7:15AM at the Hallowell Boat Landing, Hallowell, Maine.  

Start Time:  7:15AM - this is to ensure we clear the area before the 5K Road Race starts.

Course: The course map will be available soon.

Finish Check in:  9:00-9:30AM at the intersection of Central and Second Street.  Riders are asked to check in when complete so we are assured everyone has completed the ride safely.

Safety: Riders are required to wear a helmet and sign a Code of Conduct. 

T-shirt Guarantee: Ride t-shirts for all who pre-register.
