Fairbanks Cycle Club

Fairbanks Cycle Club Here in Fairbanks, AK, we do our riding during long winter nights, and long summer days. Check us out at http://www.fairbankscycleclub.org

We are a bicycle club in Fairbanks, Alaska. We hold numerous rides and races throughout the year -- under the midnight sun in summer, and under the northern lights in winter. Fairbanks is rich with trails suitable for year-round mountain biking, and though many of our roads are hilly and rough-surfaced, we still enjoy our races and group road rides.

Are you a biker who likes to write? Or a writer who likes to bike? If so, here's a workshop for you! It's a writing workshop with a biking component. If you're interested in the route, you can see it here: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/55386245

is a writer from Chile and PhD student in Creative Writing in the Spanish program of the University of Houston. As part of his creative project, he’ll be biketouring/bikepacking with his dog Miño from Alaska to México, starting this May. During this trip, he’ll write some travel pieces for his dissertation and share with communities along the way.

Join Jovi, Miño, Fairbanks Cycle Club (FCC), and Alaska Writers Guild (AWG) for a workshop about biking, writing, and our relationship with the world. The workshop will consist of a relaxed community ride around the city in bike-friendly areas, followed by a workshop session in which participants write about the experience using prompts, exercises and readings. The activity is free and open to the public. Tips toward Jovi and Mino’s trip are appreciated.
