Can't keep a secret?? Perfect! Because it's a surprise birthday bike ride this Saturday morning and everyone is invited! 

We have an 8 year old turning 9 who I believe is now a cyclist for life due to Bike Clark County, VBC and its members and those who ride with our Social 10 group. This kiddo consistently attended Jan's safety series rides this year and continues to attend our Social 10 rides. She loves VBC. And she LOVES BIKING! 

Come join us in celebrating her 9th birthday this Saturday. Let's RIDE TOGETHER! 
Please check the calendar as we will be adding all paces and lengths of rides.


Yes, a small birthday gift is welcome and should be handed to mom for opening later.

OH! my ride.. almost forgot. We start at the Starbucks parking lot near Albertsons in Salmon Creek. We have a hill at the end at the WSU campus, but it can be walked - no problem. And what goes up must come down.. so there's a short fun downhill after that.

⦁ Bring a bike in good working order (pump up those tires), wear your helmet (REQUIRED), and tuck in some water and a tube that fits your wheel.
