The first two Stoked Spoke events were amazing thanks to our intrepid adventurers and all the enthusiastic bike travelers who attended. Peddler Brewing Company was chalk full both evenings, and eight presenters have gotten our wheels turning to make 2015 a top-tier adventure year. It has been a blast so far, and we’re looking forward to the Pt. 3 on February 3rd, 2015. In the meantime, start planning your next adventure. Below is a little inspiration to get you started.
