Obviously, you are familiar with Thanksgiving, but what about ? The 15th installment of this annual food drive is this Saturday at the food bank in Seattle at 9 a.m. From there, participants will take off on their bikes, embarking on a scavenger hunt, that also includes picking up some food items and delivering them to other local food banks. So, it’s an opportunity to enjoy a day biking through the city and helping feed people.

A couple of notes from the Cascade Bicycle Club, who put on the event: First, be prepared to ride 12-15 miles. If that is a little out of your range, there will be a 3-5 mile mini version of the trail to check out. There is no registration fee, but be prepared to spend around $20 on groceries that will be donated. You can ride solo or part of a team and there will be a post-ride celebration at the Central Cinema. More details are available at .
