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

Olmsted To Deep Creek Overlook
Olmsted Brothers Park - Kendall Yards, 2125 West Summit Pkway,, Spokane, WA, USPLEASE READ ENTIRE RIDE DESCRIPTION: This ride has a lot of shorter steeper climbs – while not a difficult ride for an experienced rider, it is not an easy ride.
**Welcome to the 2026 SBC rides program. The Wednesday ride is a Casual Group Ride where the ride leader will maintain a more relaxed pace and casual cycling clothing is encouraged. This is a No-Drop ride, but not a ride for beginners. Participants should be able to maintain a steady pace (12-14 MPH) for a distance of 20 + miles (Slower pacing on hills is expected). This midweek ride is designed to be a fun ride where ride leaders will focus on relaxed pace rather than speed. So put on your Club Ride Shirt and Baggy Cycling Shorts and join us. Please wear cycling related clothing. E-Bikes, Gravel Bikes and Flat Bar road bikes are all welcome.
