Spokane Valley Cycle Celebration

The annual Spokane Valley Cycle Celebration presented by Valleyfest is set for Sunday, July 26th at Mirabeau Point Park. This bicycle ride in the Spokane Valley has been a community fixture since it began in 2013 and is a great way to explore what our area has to offer.

Less experienced cyclists can pick the 10-mile route while more experienced riders can choose between 25- and 50-mile rides. All rides begin and end at the North Centennial Trailhead across from Mirabeau Point Park at 13500 E Mirabeau Parkway. Parking is available immediately west of the park.

The 50-mile "Hills Around the Valley" ride, which loops as far north as Mead and includes a few challenging hills, begins at 8 a.m. The 25-mile "Adventure Ride" runs mostly south of Spokane Valley and kicks off at 9 a.m. The 10-mile "Family Friendly" ride is an easy route that follows the Centennial Trail to the Barker Trailhead and back, offering great scenic views of the Spokane River. It starts at 9:30 a.m.
