Meet at 5:00PM, ride out at 5:30 PM
End location: Eastbank esplanade
Updated start/end location and time!! Start point- Irving Park near tennis courts, arrive at 5, leave at 5:30 Pit stop- Bike Happy Hours at Gorges Beer on SE Ankeny (3 miles, leave at 6:45) End location- Eastbank Esplanade Total distance- 6-7 miles Ride style- Slow pace, leave-no-one-behind Yes it is back— lets pedal to MTDC at East Esplanade for a sunset music set! Beautiful serene venue with the best people and lovely music, why not ride your bikes/skates/anything you want? We will ride from Irving Park to East Esplanade (again!)— where Mt Tabor Dance Community (MTDC) is hosting their Wednesday dance events. If you have been to one of MTDC events, then you know how magical it is and if you have not, then I think you should check it out— ride your bikes or not but do check out those incredible folks. We will gather at Irving park at the picnic tables near the tennis courts at 5:00 and ride out at 5:30. We will ride 6-8miles to Eastbank Esplanade via bike happy hours. This will be an easy pace leave-no-one-behind style of bike ride. 1. This ride isn’t a loop, however I will be riding back to Alberta street and so if desired we can ride back together. 2. MTDC event lasts until 9PM, so depending upon when/where you are headed back, you may be riding in the dark Bring lights/high viz gear (that will also set you up for the high viz bike ride this summer!) for safety if you plan to leave later in the evening/night 3. MTDC is a community run event supported by a group of volunteers, recently they have had issues with trash left behind in the park. This creates additional burdens for our lovely park rangers and this threatens the incredible MTDC community. Please follow leave no trace policy on this bike ride. If you can at all, help take some trash out of the park and support the folks at MTDC Cheers!
