Some afternoon Energizer Stations have special treats - like smoothies, Mexican sorbet & even a Bike Rodeo. You can also still pick up a free Bike to Wherever Days tote bag at afternoon Energizer Stations (while supplies last). Special Stations: 1. Walnut Creek: 511 CCTA is hosting an Energizer Station where you can pedal-power your own smoothie. You'll find it at the intersection of the Iron Horse & Contra Costa Canal Trails from 3-6pm. 2. Concord: Bike Concord is providing bike guests at their Energizer Station free Mexican sorbet from 4-6pm. You'll find them at the intersection of the Iron Horse Trail and Lisa Lane. 3. Walnut Creek: The City of Walnut Creek is hosting a Bike Rodeo at their Energizer Station from 3-6pm. It's located in the Back Field of Civic Park, at 1375 Civic Drive.

Happy Bike to Wherever Day! Energizer Stations are up and running across the Bay Area. Here's a photo of the biggest 511 CCTA Energizer Station (with our friends at EBRPD) and our first visitor of the morning. If you're in Walnut Creek, we're at the intersection of the Contra Costa Canal & Iron Horse Trails. Selfies with the BTWD photo frame are always free (as are the snacks and high fives). If you can't visit us, find an Energizer Station near you: https://511.ccta.ca.gov/bike-to-wherever-day/energizer-stations/
