Bike for your beer and entertainment
Some events just say “Bellingham” – and here’s one: a comedic murder mystery play combined with a bicycle ride that’s free and open to all ages. Ride your bike to Café Velo, 120 Prospect St., early to enjoy a coffee or a beer before the play “Bicycle Noir” starts at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 16-19 and 2 p.m. Aug. 20 at Boulevard Park.
Participants will follow the action of a lead “detective” as she solves multiple murders by biking through downtown, along the South Bay Trail to Boulevard Park and returning downtown (approximately 5 miles round trip.) You’ll stay mounted on your bike as you follow the clues, stopping briefly to check in on the action at various locations. Email director Rich.Brown@wwu.edu with questions.
