Shifting Gears provides an inclusive and informative environment for new riders to feel comfortable riding bikes on the roads of Whatcom County. We are here to adventure together, work through challenges, and celebrate each and every one of us for taking a chance to set out on an adventure together. 

Join us on June 22nd for a beautiful loop from downtown Bellingham, along Bellingham Bay, around Fairhaven, and back! This introductory road ride is perfect for those looking for a relaxed cycling experience or venturing into the sport for the first time.

Our Fairhaven Loop will kick off from Kulshan Trackside; the exact location can be found here. This program is designed for those that are just diving into the world of road cycling so we will spend time focusing on cycling fundamentals and road safety. Then, we'll head out on a leisurely 10-mile journey with a 450ft elevation gain, stopping at some of Bellingham's beautiful parks. Ample breaks will provide opportunities for questions and relaxation. Finally, we'll conclude our ride back at Trackside for a debrief and a chance to savor delicious food and drinks available Kulshan.

Plan to begin our day around 9:15am, with a wrap-up by approximately 2:15pm!
