About us
Come Ride With Us! The Spokane Bicycle Club is a recreational and social organization that promotes lifelong cycling for fun and health. Group rides range from leisurely 10-mile social rides to longer fitness and endurance rides, as well as occasional multi-day tours. Some rides are urban and some are in the wider Inland Northwest around Spokane and Coeur d'Alene. We offer monthly meetings showcasing cycling adventures and innovation, and we advocate for safe cycling through sponsoring and supporting cycle-positive events and activities. More about our club can be found at: www.spokanebicycleclub.org

Route Description: Typical start from Finch Arboretum onto the Fish Lake trail, but we’ll go left, not right at Scribner, onto gravel roads that don’t get a lot of car traffic. There's one short, steep hill at the beginning of the gravel, but otherwise the terrain is fairly flat. We'll be up close and personal with picturesque agricultural surroundings. We’ll leave the gravel behind when we come to Cheney-Spangle Rd about 3 miles SE of downtown Cheney. Grab a bite at the Mason Jar. Free and fair elections will determine the route back, but the link below has us coming along the Andrus route.
