Bike to Work Day May 19
B.I.K.E.S. Club is sponsoring the Bike to Work Day Celebration
Station at McCollum Park near Mill Creek. We need volunteers to
staff that station (and others) from 5:30 a.m. set-up to 9 a.m.
close.
Also, plan now to participate in the Bike Commute Challenge. Either
form a team of 4-10 at your workplace or, we can form a B.I.K.E.S.
Club team of members riding to different workplaces. The goal is
five bike commutes in five weeks. Easy, huh?
The official Snohomish County Bike to Work website will be up in
mid-April.
Visit
www.communitytransit.org/go2/biketowork. Call Kristin for
information at 425-348-2369.

Ride Around Puget Sound Aug. 26-27
Mark your calendar
to ride or help with the third annual Ride Around Puget Sound (RAPSody),
a fund raiser for the Bicycle Alliance of Washington. B.I.K.E.S.
Club joins four other bike clubs in sponsoring this challenging
weekend ride. If you want to tackle these 165-plus hilly miles,
start training now. If you want to volunteer, set aside Saturday to
help and feel free to stay overnight with the cyclists at Shelton
High School. Our Allyn rest stop is only open on Saturday this year,
opening up Day 2 riding possibilities for those who register. Find
out more about RAPSody at
