This great fall weather has meant an extended biking season, especially for mountain bike riders. There are still races and bike events taking place, including one fun one for a great cause: the Great Osprey Bike Challenge on Sunday, Oct. 28.

Planned as a family event, this race on tar and gravel roads takes place on and around the grounds of the lovely Wolfe's Neck Farm in Freeport. There's a short course of 4.4 miles (the "Mild" race) and a 5-lap course for more serious riders (the "Spicy" race). There's great food, a pee-wee biker derby and demos too.

The Freeport Recreation and Community Education department puts on the event and proceeds from the $15 fee go to a scholarship fund.
