Spokefest!
There was a plug for this in a city email that went out. It looks like a lot of fun. I know that more and more are riding to work, and this might be a fun thing to do when us A-shifters get off on the morning of September 7th.
This is the first year, so you can get in on the ground floor of what, hopefully, will become a Spokane tradition. It costs $10 to register, or $25 for a family of three. Additional family members cost $5.
The future?
