The Bike Life!
Posted September 16, 2017 at 5:50 am by Tim Dustrude
San Juan Island Lions Club is pleased to announce their first annual fundraiser island bike ride:
Friday Harbor Bike-n-Brew!
The Friday Harbor Bike-n-Brew will take place on Saturday, September 23rd, starting at 9:00 am. The community is invited to buy a breakfast served by our own island Cutthroat Pirates at 8am at the Fairgrounds and then the fun starts! Approximately 100 bicyclists will bike for charity on three courses around the island.
The bike event will be followed by a brew fest at the Brickworks at 5:00 pm, featuring four local island microbreweries: San Juan Island Brewing Company, Friday Harbor Brewing Company, Island Hoppin’ Brewery, and Lopez Island Brewing Company. It’s not too late to join us for this event! You can register on our website or at the SJC Fairgrounds all the way up to 9:00 the morning of the bike event, or if you prefer to attend the brew fest only, stop by the Brickworks at 5:00 pm and buy a brew fest ticket at the door!
The Lions Club wants to thank our premier sponsors for making this event possible: Meat Machines Cycles, Lawson Construction, Islanders Bank, Coldwell Banker, and Centerplate. We also want to thank all of our wonderful 2nd and 3rd level sponsors and personal sponsors who believed in us and financially backed this event as it was being planned.
The Lions Club hopes to make this a regular community event that promotes charity, exercise, fun, and support of local businesses! All funds stay local to help with college scholarships and the many healthcare events our Lions Club brings to the island, including yearly eye screening in our schools for early-detection of childhood eye disease and healthcare help for our underserved islanders.
If you see a bicyclist on the road on Saturday, the 23rd, please remember they have a family and they are riding for charity, so please only pass only when it’s safe! And whether you ride or drive, share the road and practice kindness.
