Join Five Rivers MetroParks as we welcome cycling enthusiasts for tasty pancakes, friends, and music at the region's largest celebration of cycling as a means of transportation in the Miami Valley!
Help us promote everything MetroParks at this year's Bike to Work Day Pancake Breakfast at RiverScape MetroPark! We need people who love our parks, programs, and events and want to share that love with others. If that's you, consider joining us as a MetroParks Booth Ambassador! MetroParks Booth Ambassadors assist the Marketing team and outreach staff to distribute information about Five Rivers MetroParks and giveaways.
