Come join Adaptive and Inclusive Recreation of Whatcom County, Whatcom Mountain Bike Coalition, and the Western Outdoor Center for a day of community trail building, group rides and good times! Nestled right in our backyard Galbraith is a world class mountain bike destination chalked full of a litany of trails to meet all rider abilities, from beginner to advanced! Join us as we work to widen and expand the Simple Green, Gate and Switch and Bunny Trails to increase their accessibility for ALL riders in our community. After a morning of hard work with good people, join us for free lunch and groups rides to cap off the day.
