Mountain bikers will take on the muddy terrain of the north eastside on the statistically worst weather day of the year – Saturday, Jan. 15 – for the fourth annual "Stinky Spoke" (a.k.a. the Stinky Weather Poker Run). All proceeds from the event go to Little Bit Therapeutic Riding Center, a nonprofit that offers equine-assisted therapy for children and adults with disabilities.
The riders will start and finish at Redhook Brewery in Woodinville and follow a route along the Sammamish River, Redmond Watershed and Tolt Pipeline trails. Two routes – a 16-mile-loop and an 18.5-mile trail loop – can be chosen for this race.
