Stinky Spoke Foundation

The Stinky Spoke ( www.stinkyspoke.org) is an 18.5 mile mountain bike "poker ride" held on the statistically most rotten-weather day of the year. The riders start and finish at Redhook Brewery in Woodinville, WA and follow a route along the Tolt Pipeline, Watershed, PowerLine and Sammamish River trails. Riders collect playing cards along the way with hopes to have a good enough hand at the end to win a prize. An after-party happens in a big tent in the Redhook parking lot, with live music, cold beer and hot food. All proceeds from the event go to Little Bit Therapeutic Riding Center ( www.littlebit.org). This event has quickly become the kick-off to the biking year for the Seattle area!
