Kick off 2017 right! Come ride with about 100 (or more!) cyclists in Spoke-N-Sport's Annual New Year's Day Ride.

Registration starts at noon at Spoke-n-Sport, and the ride will begin at 1:00 pm. (When you register for the event at Spoke-n-Sport, you will be entered to win door prizes!)

The best bikes to use are mountain bikes, but the ride can be done on any bike. Bring a helmet, plenty of warm clothes....and bring your friends and family.

The cost is FREE, but we do ask a suggested donation of $5 to go to the bike ministry at the Center of Hope. 

The distance of the ride will be 5-11 miles, depending on weather.

After the ride, return to Spoke-N-Sport for chili, hot chocolate and drinks provided by Coffea and WoodGrain.
