Grand Valley Bike to Work Month

On Wednesday, May 4, 2022, you'll probably see a ludicrously middle-aged guy walking a bike down 5th Street in Grand Junction. That's me. I haven't fired up my bike since sometime early during the pandemic, sometime around March 2020. It's time to get that thing out of mothballs and take it for a spin. It won't be pretty, but it'll be fun.

May is Grand Valley Bike Month. Healthymesacounty.org states:

Join Mesa County and area partners for another season of Grand Valley Bike Month and pedal your way through May. Whether riding local trails, commuting to work or biking for fitness, get out and ride this fall. Regardless of how you roll, check out the September lineup of bicycle activities and participate in our fall bike challenges for a chance to win sweet prizes.
