About us
Come Ride With Us! The Spokane Bicycle Club is a recreational and social organization that promotes lifelong cycling for fun and health. Group rides range from leisurely 10-mile social rides to longer fitness and endurance rides, as well as occasional multi-day tours. Some rides are urban and some are in the wider Inland Northwest around Spokane and Coeur d'Alene. We offer monthly meetings showcasing cycling adventures and innovation, and we advocate for safe cycling through sponsoring and supporting cycle-positive events and activities.

Thurs Night Newman/Hauser Lakes Choose Your Distance Ride
Hauser lake, 10700-10798 N Fay Pl, Hauser Lake, ID, USWe’ll kick things off with everyone riding the first 4 miles together, rolling to a spot just south of Newman Lake as a single group. From there, you get to choose your adventure.
Group 1 will take a relaxed spin to the Newman Lake boat ramp and fishing dock—just a short hop away—where they can enjoy the scenery, swap stories, and soak up the calm while they wait for the rest of the crew.
Group 2 will continue the full loop around Newman Lake, tackling its winding curves and punchy hills for a more spirited ride. After circling the lake, they’ll reunite with Group 1 at the dock (who will, of course, be patiently awaiting their triumphant arrival).
Once we’re all back together, we’ll head toward Hauser Lake as one group, taking the long, scenic route around the north shoreline before cruising back to the parking lot.- Group 1: ~15 miles, 435 ft of climbing
- Group 2: ~25 miles, 1,168 ft of climbing
Choose your pace, enjoy the company, and savor a beautiful day on two wheels.
