Participants are to meet at Auburn Mall lower parking lot, near Center Street in Auburn, between 8 and 10 a.m. Riders can meet to have coffee pastries and share stories of lost friends, family etc.
The awareness ride on a mystery route will end around 12:30 p.m. at the BBQ Pit, 838 Lisbon St. in Lewiston, for a post-ride pig roast, cornhole tournament, live music and more.
