Last year, a lucky bidder won the use of the entire Methow Valley Inn!<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

Whatever your reason and wherever you ride, you can help support Washington Bikes\u2019s vital work on policy and legislation, creating safe routes to work, school and beyond, promoting bike travel and tourism, and making biking accessible to everyone with a donation to our annual auction<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n

We seek a range of items that will generate spirited bidding.\u00a0 Auction attendees are active folks who appreciate getaways, unique experiences, artisan crafts, gift baskets, recreation and cultural opportunities, and other enticing items.\u00a0 Popular offerings in the past include: getaways to popular cycling destinations like the Methow Valley<\/a> and Olympic Peninsula<\/a>, a birding by bike<\/a> experience complete with picnic lunch, a ski and stay package in Leavenworth, a private wine tasting and dinner, a private lesson in glass blowing, restaurant gift cards, themed gift baskets, and more.<\/p>\n

Use our online donation form<\/a> or contact Louise McGrody<\/a> if you have any questions.\u00a0 To ensure that your auction donation makes the catalogue and our social media, we need to receive your donation information by September 15, 2015<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Thank you. Your support helps grow bicycling all across Washington. And please plan to join us at our auction gala on October 17<\/a>!<\/p>\n
