Maine Wheels Bicycle Club is the home of the Moose Tour and Coastal Tour. These are two large six-day bicycle tours in Maine. Maine Wheels was started in 1992 by Merle and Molly Glines with the intent of having a group of friends get together to enjoy a week long bicycle ride on the back roads of Maine. That ride was the Moose Tour which now takes 170 (non-Maine Wheels club riders) for a bike ride on the back roads of Maine. Because of the popular demand of the Moose Tour, the Coastal Tour was started in 1999 after 2 years of scouting roads and planning.
