It’s a hot day!! Bring plenty of water and electrolytes! Maybe even douse yourself in some water. 💦 Let's bring a crowd to the Bike Play!! This is a Ride to Ride! This is NOT a loop, you will need to make your own way home (We'll be going home along the Eastbank Esplanade at a quick pace). This will be a slow and social pace, an 8 mile route, going about 10 mph, mostly flat and fairly shady. We'll stop at each park for about 10 minutes near restrooms. No store stop. We're meeting up at about 4:30pm and headed out from Abernethy Elementary covered basketball courts at 5:00pm. We'll be making short stops at Buckman Elementary front and covered basketball courts (5:15-5:25pm), Irving Park bathrooms on South side (5:40-5:40pm) and Peninsula Park outside the pool entrance (6:10-6:20pm) to pick up some more riders so meet us wherever is most convenient for you. We should arrive at Gammans Park right about 6:30pm. Show is from 7-9pm. This is the ASL interpreted ride of Bike Play. Mostly shady seating. I recommend wearing your favorite outdoor adventure gear to match the scene. I would also suggest quick and easy snacks and beverages and perhaps a blanket to sit on. (Complicated camp chairs seem a bit much since you have to take down and set up for all 5 scenes). If you have bike lights it will make getting home safer and easier. FROM Bike Play: Tired of the hustle and bustle of city living? Looking to find yourself in the great outdoors?
