The Durian Whisperers
Sun, Jul 21, 2024, 10:15 AM
Meet at 10:15 am, ride at 10:30 am
1:00 PM
Ride is a loop
Will it be jackfruit, durian, fresh lychees or mangosteen? Depends on what looks good at the tropical fruit market today! We’ll pool our funds ($2 to $3 per person) and ride to the fruit market to get some fruit to share, then ride to a shady park to enjoy tropical flavors. Next we'll ride to a spot for Vietnamese iced dessert drinks. Fruit costumes encouraged but not required! You may leave the ride early at any time, but we will be riding back to the starting point. Approximately 7 flat miles for the full loop or 4.5 miles from start to iced dessert drink store. Ride crosses major roads including SE Woodstock, Foster, Holgate and Powell, using lights and short stretches of sidewalk where possible. We will regroup after intersections if we are split up as corking is not to be expected. Cross only when safe, we'll wait! While no one will be left behind, kids should be supervised and able to keep up with leisurely paced adults. Bring water, sun protection and $2 to 3 cash (exact change) for the fruit fund, cost depends on size of group. (Disclaimer: participate at your own risk, not recommended if you are prone to food allergies trying new fruits. Event organizers are volunteers and assume no liability for adverse events.)
