With the weather finally changing to real spring weather I thought of two of the better bike rides that are coming up in the Wenatchee area. First on June 4th Das Radhaus hosts the 8th annual Bike and Brew in Leavenworth which has the great climb up Freund Canyon.
The following week on Saturday June 11th the Wenatchee Rotary host the Apple Valley Century which last year attracted over 900 riders and is one of the most popular rides in the state.
Devils Gulch-Mission Ridge should be clearing out of snow pretty quickly and that is one of the best if not the best ride in the state.
If riding a bike 100 miles or doing 3200 feet of climbing in Leavenworth or 4500 feet at Devils Gulch isnt your bag there is always the Apple Blossom Festival which runs April 28 to May 8th. They have added a new event to Apple Blossom which might appeal to a couple of RMers. Here it is:
The Costco Apple Pie Eating Contest
Sunday, May 8th at 2pm at the Unicel Entertainment Stage.
Win up to $100 by participating in the 1st Annual Costco Apple Pie Eating Contest! There will be 3 age categories and monetary prizes to the top finishers who can eat a pie the fastest with no hands: $50 for ages 6-12; $75 for ages 13-17 and $100 for ages 18 & over. Contest takes place on Sunday, May 8th at 2pm in Memorial Park. Forms must be received at the Festival Office, 516 Washington St., Wenatchee, 98801 by 5pm, April 22nd.
