COME JOIN FCC’S LOVE TO RIDE GROUP Come join the growing FCC “Love to Ride” group! We’re cranking out the biking miles, upping our stats for Bike Month. The first challenge happens through May, but then another continues through September. (If you’re already a member, click the link and check out the stats.)
If you already use one of the below apps, you can connect them so that your rides are automatically updated (and your past rides will be counted). You can also enter your miles manually. Whatever your flavor, if you are a Fairbanks cyclist, we would love for you to be a part of our group!
