When did you learn to ride? Do you still ride? Has a bicycle taken you on an adventure that is story-worthy? In honor of Bike-To-Work Week next week have some fun and write a story where a bicycle is a focal point. When you&#8217;re done, post it to your personal blog. What? You don&#8217;t have a personal blog? Well, you better get on that! If you&#8217;re the type that likes to have instructions before embarking on something like that, stay tuned because there will be opportunities to learn all about blogging.<\/p>\n<p>Your SnoValley Writes! board of directors will be meeting Friday at 5:30 p.m. at Toad&#8217;s in North Bend.
