Bike to Work Day is May 15th!
by Emily Vasile 28 Apr '15

28 Apr '15

Hello Bike Board, Bike to Work Day is Friday, May 15th this year. So far, I have commitments from: - Black Bear (either location) for 25 free beer tickets - Real Juice for $25 gift card for raffle Last year we met at Hazel Ruby at 8:15am for coffee and treats from the Grind (contacted Rich already) and rode down the rail trail around 8:30am. Who can commit to participating this year? Any other ideas for making this bigger and better this year? Once I have commitments from a few of you and have heard back from Rich, I'll ask for your help to spread the word. Looking forward to it! Best, Emily
