All things bicycle seem to be happening in May…the National Bike Challenge kicks off, communities around Washington are holding Bike to Work events, and May 9 is the first ever National Bike to School Day.
Bike
riding season is in full swing and there are five May rides that support the
Bicycle Alliance’s work to grow bicycling statewide:

The
May Day Metric, presented by
Phil’s South Side Cyclery on May 6, offers three challenging routes that travel
the back roads, byways and bike trails of the South Sound region. Distances range from 50, 72 and 104 miles.
Looking
for a ride east of the Cascade crest?
How about the Group Health Inland Empire Century on May 12? Routes skirt the Columbia and Yakima rivers,
through parks and over bridges, and return through the Horse Heaven Hills. This ride is organized by the Kiwanis Clubs
of Columbia and Tri-Cities Industry.
The
Skagit Bicycle Club presents the Skagit Spring Classic, also on May 12. This ride offers routes through scenic
northern Skagit and southern Whatcom Counties, and features an all-you-can-eat
pasta feed at the end of the ride.
Joint
the Port Townsend Bicycle Association for the Rhody Bike Tour on May
13. There are five routes to choose
from—including a family-friendly trail ride.
The longer routes sample the varied terrain of east Jefferson County’s
rural roads.
