Bellingham will host a late-night cycling event known as the Moonlight Ramble on Saturday, Oct. 3.

The event will kick off with live music by The Endorphins at 9 p.m. at Western Washington University outside of the Wade King Student Recreation Center. There also will be a bike repair station, bike safety information and a variety of vendors. WWU's Outdoor Center will be selling bike lights, which are required for the Moonlight Ramble, for $15.

The ride itself will begin at 11 p.m., and riders will go on a seven-mile tour of Bellingham starting at WWU, through Fairhaven, Boulevard Park and downtown. More experienced riders are encouraged to take a couple of laps around the route.

The goal is to promote cycling and sustainability. Money raised from the event will go toward the completion of the new Pickford Film Center.

To register, visit bhammoonlightramble.com. It costs $25 to enter, $15 for students or $60 for families of three to five. Registration also will be open the night of the kick-off event, but early registration is encouraged.
