Bicycle Adventures, a Redmond-based bike vacation operator, launched the #BikeBlackFriday contest last year in support of REI’s #OptOutside campaign. Once again this year, Bicycle Adventures is asking riders to share a photo of their Black Friday ride (or the ride they will do) between now and Nov. 27, to win a free bike trip or a Yakima bike rack. Photos of rides on mountain bikes, road bikes and indoor spin bikes are all welcome.

Details are at www.bikeblackfriday.com

Bicycle Adventures’ staff is leading a group ride in Redmond at 10 a.m. Friday along the Lake Sammamish Loop (22 miles). The pre-ride meet-up spot is at Postdoc Brewing Company (17625 N.E. 65th St. #100, Redmond).
