Hydration, Snacks, and Lunch for the Graffiti and Gears Adventure Cycling Tour. Please be sure to bring plenty of water for hydration, there will be opportunities to refill your water bottles along the route. It's always a great idea to pack snacks to munch on along the way. There will be time alloted at West Town Bikes to eat a quick lunch before we start the 2nd segment of the tour.<br />

<p>I have decided to turn the Graffiti and Gears Adventure Cycling Tour into a fundraising campaign for West Town Bikes. I have set up three donation amounts so people can donate what they can afford. If you have used their shop or tools in the past (I know I have), know someone who has, or wants to help support their youth programs this will be a great way to pay it forward and join in on a fun ride.</p>

<p>I am working out a route with 3 points cyclists can join in on the ride to offer various distances. This ride will be slower paced than a typical Adventure Cycling Tour to allow us to accommodate all riders and types of bikes and to take in the art. No matter your skill or type of bicycle you own you will enjoy this ride. More details related to the route segments to come soon.</p>
