Registration is closed and will open in August.

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 every one of us for taking a chance to set out on an adventure together. 

We will take the back roads around Lake Samish from Bellingham to the quaint downtown of Edison. We’ll have a few good climbs and a lot of gorgeous and rural riding, leading us to the heart of Edison with a lot of tasty options for those who want to get a treat. We’ll refuel, before riding a parallel route home, with the satisfaction of descending every hill we climbed. The ride will be around 42 miles round trip and roughly 2100 ft of elevation gain. We’ll take our time with plenty of breaks at a casual pace. Our Ride Leaders will be there to help you along the way!

This is considered an intermediate-advanced road ride. More information can be found on our road ride page.
