After a day working the production line, there’s nothing sweeter than taking a nice bike ride.
For Portland chocolatier Dean Bingham, several thousand miles does the trick especially when his long-distance ride raises money for a worthy cause.
The co-owner of candy maker and retail shop Dean’s Sweets plans to begin a 3,000-mile ride on Wednesday, May 12, with the goal of raising $30,000 for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
His route will take him from Key West, Fla., along the East Coast to Calais, in Washington County.
No stranger to long-distance, solo bike rides, Bingham chose 3,000 miles and $30,000 as his milestones because this is his 30th consecutive year riding to support MS.
