Bike Thyme - August 19

This week's Bike Thyme we will be going to *Bennington Lake*!

Bike Thyme: every Tuesday, 6pm, meets at 1st & Main St. No spandex. Picnic pace. Bring dinner. Have fun.

Another Great Bike Thyme!

Hoorah! Thanks, Alice for giving us a tour around West End Farm! Your vegetables were beautiful and your basil cookies truly delicious. Another wonderful Bike Thyme. (And check out her Big Dummy/Xtracycle! Aka- Hot Rod :)

Bike Thyme - Tues, August 12

For this week's Bike Thyme, we will be stopping at Alice Bagley's farm on Wallula Rd and eating our picnic dinners at Fort Walla Walla on the way back! Though it's still summer, we are slowly losing light- so please invest in a red rear light and front white light if you don't have one already. Allegro carries the Planet Bike Super Flash, which is my recommendation for a red light. I'll leave the white light up to your perusing. :) See you Tuesday!

Bike Thyme

• Spandex free.
• Picnic pace.
• Local farm, park & tasty destinations.
• A good thyme.

TUESDAYS, 6pm, MEETS @ 1st & MAIN ST.

Bike Thyme Goodness

Wow, what a wonderful Bike Thyme we had this last Tuesday. We stopped for blackberries, admired our beautiful foothills in the early evening sunlight and ended at the Whitman Organic Garden for a lovely tour of lively flowers and produce. All this is wonderful already, but add the endorphins produced from pumping pedals and fresh summer air and it was all the lovelier.

Bike Thyme - Tues, July 28

Bike Thyme

MEETS TUESDAYS, 6PM, @ 1ST & MAIN ST.

Spandex-Free, Picnic-Pace Bicycle Loving.

Bring a picnic dinner: I'll carry it in my cooler!

This week we'll be ending our ride @ the Whitman Organic Garden, so bring some garden gloves if you'd like!

Bike Thyme - Tues, July 22

This week's bike Thyme will take us south of town where we'll do a "lollipop" loop and stop to relax at Prospect Point elementary and enjoy our picnic snacks and dinners before ending at Daily Market.

Bike Thyme, meets Tuesdays @ 6pm @ 1st & Main St.
It's a casual, no-rush ride.
Things to bring:

• Your not-so-speedy bicycle
• Your helmet
• A snack or picnic dinner (I'll be toting an ice chest to keep it cool)
• Water bottle (I'll have extra water for refills)
• Sometimes it might be dusky when we return, so it's smart to bring at least a flashing red light for behind (a front white light is also very good). I recommend the Planet Bike Blinky Super Flash - available at your local bike shop for about $20, but well worth the money!
• Your friend

& be ready for a great time!

..I'm going to see if I can get my stereo working with an Ipod so our sound system won't skip. :)

Bike Thyme Success!

We had a wonderful time tonight.

I showed up a bit late (sorry!) since I had work right up until (and a tad after) 6pm. I think I was forgiven as soon as the boombox, ice chest and water cooler that were strapped to my Xtracycle were appreciated. We rode nice an' easy out to Bennington Lake (Jack Johnson accompanied us)-- ate our snacks & dinners there with friendly conversation. We adventured down the gravel path which lead us to the Mill Creek multi-use trail and coasted back to Daily Market under a red sun. We topped the night off with some strong lemonade (again, my doing- sorry!) made from Daily Market products and said, "see you again next week!"

We hope you'll join us. :)

Bike Thyme

• Bicycle riding at a friendly pace. 
• Cruiser, commuters & vintage bicycles encouraged.
• Bring snacks &/or dinner (I'll carry it in my cooler!)
• Depending on the week, there may be destinations like Bennington Lake, Welcome Table Farm and more!

Tonight's Bike Thyme Ride

For tonight's Bike Thyme ride, we'll be riding out to Bennington Lake to appreciate the water and have a snack* or picnic dinner*. On the way back we'll stop at Pioneer Park for more water and relaxation if the group is wanting. We'll end at the Daily Market Cooperative office for organic lemonade with Klickers strawberries to kick off our first Bike Thyme! Also, there's Open Gardening at the Whitman Organic Garden. I'll be heading over there afterwards if there's time and ya'll can join me!
