This week’s JOY!ride:
We join a larger group for the City of Vancouver’s Heritage Tree Bike Ride. Learn about our Heritage Tree Program and see a short video of the ride-including a few of us VBCers- HERE.
Distance: ~6.5 total: 2 friendly miles to warm up; we join the city for 4 miles touring 10 heritage trees on a guided tour; .5 mile to get back to our start.
Start: The Bike Shop of Bike Clark County (park around back) 1604 Main St
Wheels roll: 5:30 sharp See our route to the Tree Ride here: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/22076682 NOTE: This is a short ride, but lights (white up front and red in the back) are always a good idea toward sunset. NOTE #2: Tap Union and Brick House are both on our way back to Bike Clark County. Beer time?
