Texas 4000

Attention all bikers!  The Texas 4000 Charity Bike Ride (T4K) from Austin, Texas to Anchorage, Alaska arrives here Friday, August 10th.  This is the 15th anniversary of this amazing event. Again this year we need lots of local riders to come out to greet these incredible young riders and give them a big escort on their last 32 miles of their 4000 mile journey.  You can find out about their journey and the organization at www.texas4000.org. 

Did you miss the historical tour of early Anchorage, or the ride through the 1% for art program? Don't worry, Bike Anchorage and the Anchorage Museum are cooking up another awesome ride all about urban gardens! Be sure to check out the Bike Anchorage Calendar. 

Chugach State Park Install

Thanks to a generous grant from REI, we got to team up with Alaska State Parks to install a new bike Fix-It station, bike rack, and a shiny new informational bike kiosk at Chugach State Park! Be sure to check out all the new gear at the Prospect Heights Trailhead. We will start phase 2 later in the Fall, which includes installing over 50 fat tire bike signs throughout the park. Stay tuned for more opportunities to volunteer on this project!

From the organizers of the Texas 4000:

This year's Bike to Work Day was the perfect kick-off to some great Spring and Summer riding. Over 2,800 people braved the rainy weather and biked to over 60 tasty treat stations run by amazing local organizations. If we didn't see you at the Bacon Station, there are still plenty of other opportunities coming up this Summer to celebrate biking!

If you did make it out to Bike to Work Day, hopefully with bacon in hand, please fill out this survey. It will help us make sure Bike to Work Day 2019 is a sizzling, crispy success!

What even is this? It's a Bike High Five of course! These little cards are going viral in Anchorage. Want to encourage fellow riders with some awesome facts and resources about biking? Print off one of these little guys and hang it on a bike. Psst, Pass it on!

We've got an awesome lineup of community rides this Summer. Bike Anchorage has teamed up with the Anchorage Museum for three fun rides - a historical tour of early Anchorage, a ride through the 1% for art program, and some delicious urban gardens! More great rides are in the works - be sure to keep an eye on the Bike Anchorage Calendar.
