Did you know there are over 240 parks in Anchorage? Hannah will show you the iPhone app "Anchorage Parks" to introduce you to parks you never knew existed but are hidden gems.

You can download the app on your phone before the ride so you can mark all the parks you visit along the way. Just go to you app store and search for "Anchorage Parks," or visit here: http://anchorageparkfoundation.org/mobile-app/ 

Here is the route! You'll be able to visit 14 parks along the way--including some hidden gems--and you'll be able to track your parks otherwise!  Don't miss it!

Bike Anchorage is excited to initiate Community Rides this Summer! Join us every other Wednesday from May 20 to September 9 for FREE rides led by volunteers are designed to build community amongst our neighbors--all by bike!

The aim of these Community Rides is three-fold:

1. Sharing low-traffic, cut-through and shortcut routes to travel through various areas of the municipality to help us all feel more comfortable and confident bicycle commuting through town.

2. Learning about a particular aspect of our home city through unique cycling themes. Topics currently include parks, bike shops, architecture, gardens, artisan food, and raspberries!

3. Connecting community through new friendships and shared riding experiences.

Contact Sage if you have a suggestion for a ride or would like to volunteer to lead one. Riders are expected to have their own, working bicycles and to wear helmets and other safety gear.  The pace will be gentle, 10 miles an hour with stops for discussion and re-grouping.
