Summer Bike-To-Work Day coming June 26

Summer Bike-To-Work Day is just around the corner ! 

 Wed. 6/26/2013 6:30 – 9:30 a.m.

This year the entire NRRC campus will be coming together to sponsor a Breakfast Station at the intersection of the Spring Creek and Mason bike trails, just NE of the NRRC campus.

Last year, over 300 cyclists enjoyed goodies from La Luz Mexican Grill and Great Harvest Bread, and photo-ops with Smokey Bear at our station.

We need plenty of help serving this happy throng, so go to our VOLUNTEER SIGN-UP PAGE and sign up for a guaranteed good time.

Bike-To-Work Day is a city-wide event sponsored by FC Bikes.  Check out their web page to find an interactive map of all the breakfast stations and information about other activities during Bike Month.

NRRC to host “official” Bike-to-Work day breakfast station

Volunteers from NRRC will join with local businesses to sponsor a Bike-to-Work day breakfast station on the Spring Creek trail, 7:00 – 9:30 a.m.  on December 14.  The NRRC-A Green Team will be joined by volunteers from other USDA buildings on campus, La Luz Mexican Grill and Drake Cyclery to provide tasty breakfast burritos, hot drinks and light bike repair to cyclists participating in the event.  Our breakfast station will be located where the Spring Creek trail goes beneath the railroad,  northeast of the NRRC campus.  The annual event, sponsored by FC Bikes, will feature 16 other breakfast stations across the city.  If the promise of a free hot meal is not enough to lure you from your winter den, our station will offer a rare appearance by Smokey Bear, sponsored by the Arapahoe & Roosevelt National Forests (building E). Come join your fellow cyclists and Smokey for a hot breakfast in the crisp winter air.  “I have a bike; I go to work; I ride my bike to work – no big whoop.”

Bike-to-Work Day Success!

Last week’s Winter Bike-to-Work breakfast station, hosted by the Green Team, was visited by thirty Building A bicycle commuters. Some routinely bike to work daily and others came just for the event. All were welcomed and greeted with fresh, hot sausage, egg, potato and cheese breakfast burritos and steamy hot spiced apple cider. Thanks for participating!

We were also graced by the arrival of The Wheel Dogs, who could barely dismount their bikes and waddle up to our breakfast table after visiting six other breakfast stations in Fort Collins!
