Beers to Build Bicycling


After the euphoria of National Bike to Work Day tapers off this Friday night, your thoughts may turn to procuring a tasty beverage. And while I know that we have a national and international membership base with people from Helsinki to Houston (all with access to delicious drinks of their choice), I have to plug a local beverage-oriented event happening here in Missoula, MT.

This Sunday, May 20, Adventure Cycling is collaborating with the Flathead Lake Brewing Company of Missoula, just around the corner from our headquarters, to put on an evening of beers and bicycling. From 5pm to 11pm, $1 of every pint sold will help build the U.S. Bicycle Route System (USBRS).

Please RSVP to the event on Facebook and invite all of your bike and beer loving friends! We look forward to seeing you. We will also be raffling off some cool Adventure Cycling merchandise to anyone who comes through the door.

If you can't make it and still want to help build the U.S. Bicycle Route System, you can donate to our USBRS campaign and maybe even win a set of Ortlieb 30-Years-Edition panniers if you give by the end of the week. If you donate $100 or more, you'll receive a Walz cycling cap designed specially for the USBRS too!

1984 Bike Tour: Day 16 ? A good welcome to Berea

BEREA, KY. -- We didn't make as big a splash as some people upon entering Berea, but we felt heroic all the same and did receive a warm welcome and invitation.

We arrived in Berea about 10 minutes ahead of the Olympic torch. AT&T was sponsoring the torch run through all 50 states on its way to the Summer Games in Los Angeles. We just happened to ride into Berea at about the same time as the torch. A local woman had raised $3,000 to carry the torch for a mile and people lined the street waiting for her arrival.

While we waited, a woman came up and started a conversation. We were the first bicycle tourists she'd seen this year. She and her husband bicycle. Their house is listed in a national organization's newsletter as an overnight spot for travelling bicyclists. Would we like to stay? Of course we would ...

Breaking News: Building the U.S. Bicycle Route System

Well, I was all set with a fun blog post about why I, personally, support the U.S. Bicycle Route System (USBRS) and what the project means to me. Unfortunately, some breaking news has forced me to postpone that post until Tuesday. But trust me, the breaking news is well worth it.

Yesterday afternoon we put out a call to all our friends, followers, and fans to help us reach $25,000 by the end of the week. This morning, I'm very excited to announce that a pair of supporters have contributed $15,000, bringing our grand total to almost $40,000. Our anonymous donors decided to make this generous gift to show their support and challenge their fellow adventure cyclists to make a small donation to reach the remaining $10,000 of our $50,000 goal.

We are so close to our goal. With a little less than a week left in the Build It. Bike It. Be a Part of It. campaign, every dollar counts.

Remember, donations of $100 or more qualify for a limited-edition USBRS cycling cap, designed by business sponsor Walz Caps.

At the same time as all of the above-mentioned exciting news, business sponsor Giant Bicycles has come in with a $2,000 fundraising challenge. Help us break $40,000 and raise that last $10,000 by taking advantage of this 1:1 challenge and donating today.

Giant was founded in 1972 with a mission: to create better bikes and improve the cycling experience. From the very start, innovation and manufacturing expertise set them apart.

Beginning with their lightweight chromoly frames, Giant's ability to produce high-quality bikes at an affordable price allowed more riders to experience cycling in a whole new way. Since then, Giant has pioneered advancements in both aluminum and composite engineering. They introduced the first affordable carbon fiber bike, the Cadex 980 C, and revolutionized high-performance road bikes with their Compact Road Design. In mountain biking, Giant's Maestro Suspension established a new level of performance for off-road riding and racing.

Over the last four decades, Giant has grown well beyond its manufacturing roots to become the world's leading brand of quality bicycles and gear. With more than 12,000 retail partners worldwide, they aim to inspire adventure in all riders, from casual to competitive.

Giant bikes win world championships. They win design awards, too. But most importantly, they win the hearts of riders who choose to make cycling a part of their lives. They support that choice and think it makes the world a better place.

Giant aims to be a trusted friend on every road, path and trail that unfolds before you. Giant is proud to be part of your cycling adventures.

As their slogan says: RIDE LIFE. RIDE GIANT.
