Throughout the year, activities like alpine and rock climbing, skiing, hiking, biking, golf and fly fishing are available. Missoula is the whitewater rafting and kayaking capitol of Montana because of its proximity to Idaho's crown jewels and multiple year round runs. Missoula is also on the forefront of river surfing, largely due to the man made surf wave in the center of town, Brennan's Wave. Missoula bicycling Missoula is a focal point of bicycle travel, because of the presence of Adventure Cycling Association, North America's largest cycling membership organization. Thousands of cyclists come through Missoula and stop at Adventure Cycling's downtown headquarters (in a former church at 150 E. Pine Street) for free ice cream, advice, and the chance to be photographed. Nonprofit community bicycle shop Freecycles teaches how to build and repair bicycles, and offers rebuilt bicycles. Its location offers "easy access" to the town's bicycle trail system. A Festival of Cycles is held during Walk and Roll Week, Missoula's annual alternative-transportation awareness week.
