#WEOUTSIDE Kicks Off Summer 2026 - with New Friends

The 2026 #WEOUTSIDE program kicked off in spectacular style with an amazing mountain biking trip - with a new partner joining us. For July, MATLT and MANA are being joined by the crew from Our Place to bring them out for adventures in Maine's woods and waters. For this first adventure we decided to go big right away and so we all headed up to the Bethel Community Forest to meet up with our friends from Inland Woods + Trails. BCF has miles of multiuse trails and is a community resource for recreation, healthy activity, and just getting outside in nature. With trusted guides from IW+T, we had fifteen people head out on a fleet of rental bikes provided by Barker Mountain Bikes, a local shop in Bethel. The trail at BCF are a combination of single track, double track, and some woods roads, and as you can see they were riding hard. Some kids were adventurous and explored, and then they were able to lead others who might not have as much experience. Whatever ability, everybody was having a great time and bikes were looping through the parking lot non-stop until it was time to leave. Special thanks to Inland Woods+Trails for making this all happen! WEOUTSIDEEEEEEEE!!!
