Adventure Cycling Association
Missoula, Montana 30th BIRTHDAY BASH


Missoula, Montana – a quaint and vibrant mix of old and new West – is the home to Adventure Cycling Association’s office, and our third Adventure Cycling 30th Birthday Bash. We will party it up Adventure Cycling staff and 40 lucky individuals who are bicycling cross-country in celebration of the Bikecentenial 1976 ride. There will be a fabulous barbeque with birthday festivities in one of the best bicycling towns in the Rocky Mountains.

You will meet friends, old and new, who share your passion for an adventurous life on two wheels. Festivities include a Bikecentennial movie booth, thematic tables, bicycle trivia, a photo booth, adventure stories, party gifts and an optional afternoon bicycle ride. We will receive inspiration from speakers and each other, and cap off the evening with a cake cutting ceremony.
