Saddlebag Meet-up @ Grays Harbor Public Market
Jun 27 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm

Saddlebags are backpacks for bicycles.  The idea of these meetings is:

  1. Arrive on a bike
  2. Discuss the route to be ridden
  3. Place the map, paper and writing utensils in your saddlebag
  4. Ride the route, stop and record when needed
  5. Regroup at a designated location to discuss findings

If a person does not want to ride, they are welcome to come for the discussions and either wait for the bike riders to return or walk part of the route.
