Next Up: Earth Day Market Ride, April 22!

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.. We’ll have free one-dollar Market Tokens to share, plus free coffee from Dancing Goats Coffee, treats from San Francisco St Bakery, juices, gluten free treats, and free stickers for all! At 11:00 am, we'll have a cheer, a prize drawing and a group photo. Then we'll ride to the Olympia Farmers Market, where you can catch some great live music, and enjoy the food and shopping! Bring your bike bags!
