WCS - 2010 Bike For Shelter

What started out as a family bike ride has become much more. Part cycling, part carnival, part celebration, Bike for Shelter is 100-percent fun. New this year, enjoy the scenic 12-mile Shelter to Shelter ride, or explore Fort Missoula on a leisurely 2-mile ride. They aren't timed races, so you can ride at your own pace and enjoy.

Enjoy a yummy lunch, snow cones and cotton candy while Erik Ray performs ground-stompin' music on stage. We'll also be holding sack races, parachute games, bean bags toss and will give away a new mountain bike. Kids can earn a medal and have fun in our bike rodeo safety course. There will be face painters, balloon animals, miniature horses, jumping gyms, and enjoy a special appearance from our favorite Grizzly mascot and tons more.

Most importantly, while you’re having a good time, you’re also doing good. All proceeds will allow Watson Children’s Shelter to help area children in crisis. So grab your bike, helmet, family, friends and good spirits. And have a great time for a great cause.

Helmets are required. Children must be accompanied by a parent or responsible adult at all times.
