DESCRIPTION
It's January! We've almost forgotten how to ride! Time to get crackin', so we'll do a flat, friendly, short pedal in the sunshine together for starters. Hope to see you!
How do I prepare: Remember the ABC Quick Check? Also bring a tube that fits your tires. Test ride around the block. Bring what you need to be comfy: layer up for warmth, water bottle, snack, chapstick, cell phone, bus card?
Need a mechanic? There are many, but these local bike shops supported our RACC event and we highly encourage your patronage! Bike Clark County Bike Shop Camas Bike and Sport Vancouver Cyclery Wheel Deals
