This Thursday, May 10th is the 18th annual Bike to Work Day in the San Francisco Bay Area. This event is even more topical because Santa Rosa hosts the overall start of the 2012 Amgen Tour of California this weekend.

Bike stores, local retail shops, coalitions, restaurants, caterers and volunteers are all coming together to set upEnergizer Stations throughout Sonoma County for those who cycle to work.

Anyone on a bike can visit one of these locations between 6am to 9am for coffee, snacks, good cheer, and collectible canvas giveway bags. For more info on where to find a morning Energizer Station or afternoon/night time celebration, visit bikesonoma.org!

Oh, and if you don’t work that day (or work from home like I do), you can still pedal anywhere you need to go!

The Leadership Institute for Ecology & the Economy and theTrek Store Santa Rosa at will be in downtown Santa Rosa’s Railroad Square all day and with the help of Peloton Catering, there will surly be some delicious food. (update, I hear there will be breakfast burritos).

Sheana Davis at The Epicurean Connection in downtown Sonoma is celebrating with a full day of events, including morning hydration for those riding their bikes in the town of Sonoma square and a special guest beertender (Dean Biersch) pouring that afternoon!

Are you planning on riding your bike to work tomorrow? Take a picture at any one of Sonoma County’s energizer stations and tweet me (@sharayray) a picture!
