Beautiful family bike ride, barbecue & balloons. Helping kids in crisis. What's not to like?

This day is filled with lots of serious cruising on bikes, food and the good times of a family carnival. All to help and protect area children in crisis.

Bike for Shelter 2012 will include the Shelter to Shelter 12-mile scenic loop showcasing the new 2nd shelter off Blue Mountain Road, along with the two-mile Fort Missoula Fun Ride and the Bike Rodeo where kids can earn a medal. Enjoy live musical entertainment, a yummy lunch, cotton candy and snow cone treats. Kids won’t want to miss the sack races, face painting, miniature horses, jumping gyms, bean bag toss, parachute games, prizes and tons more.

So join us.... have yourself a great Saturday and know you're helping kids who really need you.
