There are only two weeks to go until FABB volunteers help make this year’s Tour de Fat the best ever.

Tour de Fat is New Belgium Brewing’s traveling celebration of all things bicycle, honoring humankind’s greatest invention. So, please plan on joining thousands of Metro area bicyclists at Yard’s Park, 355 Water St SE, on Saturday, May 21, 2016, for a costumed bike parade and musical acts, peppered with fun like dance contests, a Slow Ride competition, and other interactive events.

Also, everyone is invited to join the New Belgium Brewing Company, WABA, and Tour de Fat volunteers for a TdF Promotion Party and kickoff for WABA's Really Big Bike Weekend. The party will be held on Thursday, May 18, 2016, at 6:00pm at the Dew Drop Inn, 2801 8th Street NE, in DC.  RSVP for the promo party on Facebook here.

FABB still needs a few more volunteers. Please help and sign up here for a morning or afternoon shift. Enter "FABB" as the password and you will see "ID & Wristbands," which allows you to select a morning (10am-1:30pm) or afternoon (1-5pm) shift.

DC Bike Ride, a scenic urban bicycle ride celebrating the people, places, and culture of Washington, D.C. will debut in the District on May 22, as an exciting addition to National Bike Month celebrations.

 The recreational ride offers a unique car-free tour of the nation’s capital. Riders will cruise past some of the most iconic sites taking in everything from the Washington Monument to the White House and the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts. Participants will conclude their journey with a post-ride celebration near the United States Capitol. A complete ride itinerary is included at the end of this release.

“WABA is a proud founding partner of the DC Bike Ride,” stated Greg Billing, WABA’s Executive Director. “DCBR represents the return of a family-friendly, traffic-free bike ride to the District of Columbia, and our community couldn’t be more thrilled. We believe the best way to experience our region is on the seat of a bicycle. In addition to the good work of bringing people together, DC Bike Ride will provide critical resources for our community engagement work to support D.C.'s Vision Zero goal to end traffic fatalities by 2024.”
