- RYAN & STEPH'S BIKE MOVE
-
11:30amMy first bike move!
It'll be an easy one- flat, 1.5 miles, low traffic streets, and not that much stuff (factors which would make it a good one for first timers, so bring curious friends!).
There will be coffee and sugary goodness at the start, followed by lots of food, beer, and good times at the end (possibly a fire in the backyard if enough people hang around later).
Late start time so nobody has to to get up too early and because it's only 1.5 miles.
Hope you can join us!
