TONIGHT! Our Joy Ride this month kicks off downtown at 6pm. We'll gather up near the 100 block of College Ave and leave downtown for a casual beginner-friendly ride around town. We recommend that you bring water, a helmet, and bike lights. It is also nice to have a spare innertube that fits your bike. Everyone is invited and no one gets left behind. See you tonight!

Riders in Saturday's Fat Tyre Crit are welcome to join us for the ride, and peel off at Walker Park to check out the course.
