Meet at 1pm, ride at 3pm.
End location: Colonel Summers Park
This is the official ride that kicks off the festivities every year. This year the Cycle Homies are planning the route! Volunteers will be selling Bike Summer merch from 1:00pm to 2:30pm. We will have a limited amount of pennants and stickers for sale at the park, as well as shirts for you to try on before you buy online. If you ordered merch in the first pre-order, you need to pick it up by 2:45pm at the very latest. No 2nd order pre-merch will be available for pick up. We'll also have Ride Leader pennants to give away, first come, first served, just show us your ride listing on the calendar! Volunteers on site will help affix pennants to bikes. If you are able to help wrench on bikes on site, or help cork the ride, please let us know.

If you're leading a ride this Bike Summer, consider promoting your event onsite with fliers, etc. DJ Feels Like home will spin tunes at Peninsula Park and SPECIAL FOR THIS YEAR - Danza de Diablos are sending the ride off. We need to pay the band that accompanies them. Please help us raise funds to pay these artists! See link below. We depart at 3pm on-the-dot for a family-friendly cruise to Colonel Summers Park. Here is our route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/50910471 As always, be courteous to pedestrians. USB Check will greet us with tunes at Colonel Summers Park and you should bring some $$ for tasty food sold by local vendors.
