Bangor -
Cyclists from all over Maine will be hitting the road this weekend to raise money for the Bangor Land Trust.
The organization is hosting its sixth annual Pedal the Penobscot Road Ride, which helps cover the cost of maintaining the trails that run through the trust's 700-plus acres of preserves.
Lucy Quimby, president of the land trust, said the area has helped Bangor become a must see attraction for tourists and state residents.
"People used to talk about Bangor as a gateway community, but I think that it can be a destination community for a lot of people from out of state that envy the way of life that we have here and some of them love it and stay," said Quimby.
Bikers have their choice of four rides this Sunday, ranging from 14 miles to 100 miles.
