A gigantic thank you again to everyone who helped make this year’s Bike the Blizzard the most successful Back Alley Bikes fundraiser yet! We doubled nearly all of our numbers from last year.
– 45 riders!
– 3,338.2 miles ridden!
– $14,563.60 raised!
We also had dozens of riders show up for our annual Blizzard Mass… plus two dogs! The group had a lot of fun riding together and did a little parade past the Auto Show.
We always have an awesome collection of sponsors, and this year we would like to thank: and Amicci’s Pizza, Carhartt, The Hub, Moosejaw, Ocelot Print Shop, REI, Shinola, and Velocity. (Thanks to Liz for her home cooking too!)
