Thank you to the Volunteers that stepped up to help make this ride such a success. We can’t do this without you! To the staff and our friends at Millinocket Elks Lodge #1521, Lincoln Tap House, and the Old Town Elks Lodge #1287 you ROCK! To our Brothers and Sisters from the Riders of Waterville Lodge #905, Skowhegan-Madison Lodge #2531, Bangor Lodge #244, Ellsworth Elks #2743 and the Legion Riders. Together, we raised over $7,000(formal total pending as donations are still coming in) for Alzheimer’s Awareness! We are blown away by the power of our community. I warned you in the beginning that this would be a long post but that is what happens when so many band together to do something amazing. Thank you all!
