Destination Castle Rock: A ride with the Transportation & Environmental Justice Club

There was a ride -exclusive to high school club members- on March 16th where we had smoothies, did some team building activities, and learned that tacos at Los Gallos can be pretty spicy! 🌶️ 😂

Led by Smitty from The Bike Kitchen, the club rode 20 miles in 2 hours, stopping along the way to highlight some infrastructure. Students from Olympic and Ygnacio Valley High Schools collaborated in planning a club ride series, which will be open to the public with rides coming up Saturday April 13th, and Thursday, May 16th, 2024.

The first public adventure of the High School club ride series takes us on a picnic to Castle Rock Regional Park where we’ll attempt to see the peregrine falcons!

There are TWO start and end locations and times to accommodate most participants. You choose!

The route is available here, viewable on Ride With GPS.
