DETAILS

Deck your bike with boughs of holly
Fa la la la la, la la la la
'Tis the season to be jolly
Fa la la la la, la la la la

Decorate your bike, yourself (or both) in Christmas decorations and join me for a short ride around Vancouver to bring Christmas cheer to all we meet.
Who knows, if we're jolly enough, we may just make Santa's Nice List. 😉

Last year's Christmas ride and white elephant gift exchange was such a blast, I just knew I wanted to do it again. Then, when I learned Vancouver Cyclery was collecting new toys for Randall Children's Hospital, I thought it would be fun to support one of our favorite bike shops by turning it into a Christmas Toy donation ride, too. 🎁

After our ride, we'll head back to Peachtree to enjoy some warm drinks and pie while we do our white elephant gift exchange with our biking buddies.

Participation in the toy drive and white elephant gift exchange are not mandatory, but should you like to join in, please bring a new unwrapped gift for the toy donation, and a wrapped white elephant gift, suitable for either a man or woman ($20 limit.)
Jim has graciously offered to bring his trailer if you need a place to put your toy donation when riding.
