To make sure your Earth Day Market Ride miles count towards your BCC total, simply click the Date field in the Log a Ride box, choose April 22 from the calendar, and enter the miles you rode that day. Do this before May 20, as you can only log rides up to 30 days in the past.
Your miles will also accrue to your team totals!
The Earth Day Market Ride, Saturday, April 22 (EARTH DAY) is the Kick-Off event for the 36th Annual Bicycle Community Challenge, and a great way to celebrate Earth Day (plus, your rides this day will count toward your Bicycle Community Challenge total in May). See all the details below!
Meet neighbors, enjoy a Saturday bike ride to town, and support our local growers, makers and bakers at the Olympia Farmers Market!
Rides start in several different neighborhood locations listed below. Stay tuned here for last minute updates! The neighborhood rides will converge downtown at the Heritage Park Fountain at around 10:45 to 10:55 a.m..
