Ladd’s Addition to Mt. Tabor If you love cycling and poetry, come join us! Please Bring: 1. A poem you love 2. Paper 3. Writing Utensil Optional: 4. A refreshing beverage 5. Something upon which to sit We will read. Could there be any better way to Introduce yourself to other folks than to read aloud a poem that you love? It may be written by anyone, including you. We will ride. I'll bring a prompt to help us get into the creative flow. Then let's fill our senses with the wind, the trees, the colors, the feeling of our legs spinning and our hearts pounding as we climb Mt. Tabor. This short, but challenging ride may be just the thing to silence your inner critic! We will write. We will round off our time together sitting in the late afternoon glow, feeling the rush of emotions and physical sensations pulse through our bodies after our strenuous climb. Then we will write whatever comes to us. When we are done writing, each person will have the option to share what they have written if that feels right for them. Arrive: 3:00pm at the Center of Ladd's Addition Read: Approximately 3:15-4:00pm Ride: Approximately 4:00-4:45pm Write (And Share): Approximately 4:45-6:00 This will not be a return ride, so feel free to choose your own adventure at the end. (Please feel free just to find us at the top of Mt. Tabor around 4:45 if you would just like to join us for writing.)
