Trail Tales with Anchorage GRIT

 
Hello!
 
As a board member for Bike Anchorage, I am recruiting speakers for an Alaska Trails' Trail Tales event. The event will take place on February 5th during Winter Bike Fest and will partner to raise money for Anchorage GRIT. 
 
I am reaching out to see if you, or anyone you know, would be interested in sharing a story for the event. Of course, we would love bike themed stories, but we are open to any story you feel passionate in sharing about an Alaska outdoors experience. Stories typically last seven minutes and I should stress that the setting is quite informal and the crowd always supportive! I told a story last year and felt at ease after I met the other presenters and crowd. Here is a link to past events so that you can get a feel for what the evening is like: Alaska Trails: Trail Tales
 
If you are interested please email [email protected] with your confirmation and story idea.
 
Happy New Year everyone!

Safer Streets to Ride

I love what Bike Anchorage is working toward for the city of Anchorage-- safer streets to ride on and a more bike friendly environment.

Bike Anchorage has shown an immense level of support for Anchorage GRIT, my middle school girls cycling mentorship program. Cait Rodriguez and I are very proud of our six week program culminating in a three day 65 mile adventure ride from Anchorage to the end of Eklutna Lake. Last year, we worked with eighteen 7th grade girls. Before the program, none of the girls had ridden more than 10 miles. By the end of the Anchorage GRIT, they were riding trails with confidence and endurance. Bike Anchorage supports Anchorage GRIT by taking care of our insurance, fundraising and managing our finances. They also help us kick-off the program with a safe riding class for the students and parents. We are so grateful for all of their help and thoughtfulness. They keep our program safe and protected, eliminating much of the daunting administrative work.

I really appreciate the tremendous effort and energy Bike Anchorage puts into making cycling infrastructure better in Anchorage and supporting educational programs so I can continue doing what I love-- riding my bike and inspiring others to get out and ride theirs.
