If you’ve got a motorcycle come join one of the most fun rides you’ll ever do!
Bikers for Boobies is turning 5 on Saturday, October 57. It should be turning 6, but a tropical storm zooming up north, bringing heavy rain canceled the fun last year. This year I have faith that the weather Gods are on our side!

What is Bikers for Boobies?
Started by a new Maine motorcycle club, the Vacationland V-Twin Cruisers, Bikers for Boobies is a fundraiser to help Mainers fight breast cancer. Five years ago, they wanted to help Maine, and they had an idea to organize a run to help Mainers fight breast cancer. Well, that ties in pretty perfectly with the annual Cans for a Cure, which has been raising money for Mainers for over two decades. We worked together to organize a 90+ mile bike run, all to benefit Cans for a Cure. That money will go directly to the Maine Cancer Foundation. It’s one of my absolute favorite days of the year.

It’s the camaraderie that I love the most, though. The people you meet are a family, and when you join, you are instantly family, too! They even made me an honorary biker. Oh sure, I don’t own a bike, but I own this super cool-looking ‘cut’.
Look how bad-ass I am. My biker name (you get a biker name) is DJ Hot Shit. Sorry, I know it’s not family friendly but it is hysterical nonetheless.
Bikers for Boobies raises a ton of money (nearly $6,000), but it’s a day for fun and laughing! These bikers know how to raise a lot of money while raising just a tiny bit of hell. In the best possible way.

PORTLAND (WGME) — A seasonably cold air mass will continue to impact temperatures through the end of the week.
All eyes will turn to the backend of the weekend with the possibility of a powerful storm that is passing a few hundred miles offshore on Sunday.
Wednesday planner.{ }(WGME)
On Wednesday, the sun will be present with highs near 20 degrees.

The snow on the ground will make things very bright, so don’t forget your sunglasses!
Boston forecast.{ }(WGME)
The Boston Celtics have a home game Wednesday night at 7:30 PM for travel purposes.
By Thursday, it will be more of a mixed bag of both sun and clouds with similar temperatures.
The next chance for some snow showers will be inland and in the mountains on Friday morning.
Weekend forecast.{ }(WGME)

For the weekend, Saturday will be the brightest day, yet the coldest.
Our Weather Authority team continues to closely monitor the track of a powerful storm that is passing a few hundred miles offshore on Sunday.
As of midweek, the track will either have Maine under its extreme western edge with some snow or a miss heading out to sea.
There are two scenarios that the storm could take, the first being a large storm track.
If the storm’s center passes off the coast of Cape Cod, we could be looking at a classic blizzard situation with snow and wind.
The second scenario and the more likely of the two, out to sea. The storm may end up cutting in the middle of these two, bringing snow to mostly coastal spots.
This large storm and its track is being watched very closely as any shift in the track will result in major changes to the forecast. Stay tuned.
Cold start to February.{ }(WGME)

The first week of February is set to continue with those below-normal temperatures.

This is the sixth Varsity Maine boys basketball poll of the season, and the No. 1 ranking has changed each time. Windham is back at No. 1 after a big win over No. 4 South Portland. The Eagles, who have won 12 straight, were previously ranked No. 1 in the winter’s first poll.
Windham and last week’s No. 1, Camden Hills, have both topped the poll twice. Sanford and South Portland have each spent one week in first.
The team responsible for this week’s No. 1 switch, Cony, jumped three spots to No. 6 after dealing Camden Hills its first loss on Saturday and upending No. 8 Gardiner last Tuesday.

One of Maine’s two casinos is suing the state’s gambling control unit director over legalizing online casino games exclusively for the Wabanaki Nations.
Gov. Janet Mills decided earlier this month to allow Maine’s four federally recognized tribes to offer “iGaming.” Oxford Casino is challenging that decision in Maine’s U.S. District Court, accusing the state of unlawfully granting a monopoly for online casino gaming.
“Promoting iGaming through race-based preferences deals a gut-wrenching blow to Maine businesses like Oxford Casino that have heavily invested in the State and its people,” the lawsuit reads.
The casino is accusing the state of violating the Equal Protection Clauses of both the United States and Maine Constitutions, against discrimination based on race, according to the lawsuit, which was filed Friday.

The lawsuit also states that the casinos could lose millions in revenue and hundreds of employees after the law goes into effect.
Oxford Casino and Hollywood Casino in Bangor opposed the iGaming bill, citing the potential for job losses. Other opponents included the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention as well as the chair of the state’s gambling control board.
The law will take effect 90 days after the Legislature adjourns this year, but state officials say there is no concrete timeline for when the new gambling options will become available.
This is a developing story.
