Hi Everyone,
The 4th Annual Back Roads for Backpacks ride is Saturday, August 10 (rain date, Sunday, August 11). Registration opens at 8:30 and we will be leaving Ruth's Reusable Resources at 9:30. We are really excited that this event is in its fourth year and appreciate all the support we have received in the past.
This year, we are delivering 197 backpacks to a school in South Hiram, Maine! The suggested donation is $25, which will go towards offsetting the cost of the backpacks. You are also more than welcome to bring a backpack full of supplies as well.
The address of Ruth's Reusable Resources is 39 Blueberry Rd, Portland, ME. It is conveniently located off the turnpike for anyone that might coming from further away. The ride will start and end here. After the ride, there will be a BBQ and some small giveaways.
Ruth and I have appreciated all the support NESR has shown over the last few years and this support has helped make the ride a success. I hope you can join us on the 10th! If you can't make it and are interested in doing an online donation, please PM for more information. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me!
Thanks!
Kerry

Cheese are you doing this again from our area?

I've joined Kerry on this ride multiple years and it's a great time! Good cause, good people and good food at the end of the ride. Kerry practices her route multiple times before leading so she keeps the group together without issue.
This year I will again make the trip to Maine to ride for this cause. If anyone wants to follow me up for the commute (it'll be a slab) or use me as the messenger to deliver donations, please let me know.
See you on the 10th Kerry!![]()
I'm in again. Great time last year.
I'm in again! Already drooling for that BBQ! It will be good to see everyone again. And the children's excitement when we roll into their schoolyard will put a smile on your face!![]()

I'm in again this year, too.![]()
In!
Cheese once you firm up plans let me know . I'm set and excited I get to go thus year!
It's great to see Kerry continuing with this year after year. I can't make the ride but would like to donate. I'm in for $50 and will figure out a way to get it to Cheese or someone else next week.
Finally a ride I can do! Are newbies welcome? And how many miles is the ride?
The ride itself is noob friendly and not all that long. Now the ride to the start/finish location is another story, depending on where you live. For me, it's about a 1.5 hour slab each way, not difficult, just long.
Yea I'm in springfield so it will take me a while to get up there but I can handle it. Can't wait for it!
IN!
Sheppo - Can I meet up with you before meeting up with Cheese for the slab up? Just let me know when/where!!

Maybe we can all meet up at the 93 north rest area? If Rob doesn't want to come down to go back up, we can meet him at BK off exit 4?

Thanks for the awesome responses! I feel so supported by you all! It is going to be a another great year!
Yes the ride itself is very newbie friendly and we have riders of all kinds. Please let me know if there are any other questions.
Not Sure....thank you for your donation! I will send you a link to donate online if that is easier. If not, Cheese is a wonderful, trustworthy carrier![]()
