Beers to Build Bicycling

After the euphoria of National Bike to Work Day tapers off this Friday night, your thoughts may turn to procuring a tasty beverage. And while I know that we have a national and international membership base with people from Helsinki to Houston (all with access to delicious drinks of their choice), I have to plug a local beverage-oriented event happening here in Missoula, MT.

This Sunday, May 20, Adventure Cycling is collaborating with the Flathead Lake Brewing Company of Missoula, just around the corner from our headquarters, to put on an evening of beers and bicycling. From 5pm to 11pm, $1 of every pint sold will help build the U.S. Bicycle Route System (USBRS).

Please RSVP to the event on Facebook and invite all of your bike and beer loving friends! We look forward to seeing you. We will also be raffling off some cool Adventure Cycling merchandise to anyone who comes through the door.

If you can't make it and still want to help build the U.S. Bicycle Route System, you can donate to our USBRS campaign and maybe even win a set of Ortlieb 30-Years-Edition panniers if you give by the end of the week. If you donate $100 or more, you'll receive a Walz cycling cap designed specially for the USBRS too!
