The day starts at 9am with the 25-mile "Mentoring for Miles" fun ride into Carneros. Thirty-minutes later, at 9:30am, we kick off a more casual bicycle tour of our community's bike routes. The festival runs from 11am to 3 pm which will include:

• A kids' helmet giveaway (helmets provided by Sonoma County Safe Kids)
• A bike light giveaway
• Games and contests for kids and adults
• Live music by the The Whiskey Thieves and Uncle Jessie and the Porch Junkies
• Local food vendors
• Booths by local bike and bike-friendly groups
• Free valet bike parking (provided by SCBC, of course)

We've produced a promotional video based on last year's event:
