End location: Arbor Lodge Park
Ride length: 0-3 miles
We're celebrating a favorite cult classic - the Josie & the Pussycats movie! I wish I had just 3 Small Words about this movie - but it's just too good to keep it short. This movie exists in a strange place. It did terribly at the box office, but the soundtrack was largely successful, and that's what we're here to celebrate. Famously voiced by Letters to Cleo front-woman Kay Hanley as Josie (played by Rachel Leigh Cook in the movie), the soundtrack hits the pop-punk genre perfectly and is filled with plenty of ear worms. It's a relatively short album, so this short sunset route seemed a perfect fit. Dress up in animal print, y2k fashion, or anything that makes you feel comfortable. Route Map Linked Below: Expect an ~30 min joy ride of 3 miles. * Ride is a not a loop. * Scenic Dog Bowl sunset route! Do you know what it takes to make this a great ride? - We will need corkers (and those who are cork curious.) - Loud speakers (for music.) - And of course you! (It's not as good by myself.) Got a decent speaker? BRING IT! All I ask is that the music is Josie & the Pussycats only, and that you do the courteous thing and turn down your music when it conflicts with a louder speaker (you can turn it back up when it doesn't.) Curated Josie & the Pussycats playlist available on Tidal at the link below. Be sure to bring water and snacks/beverages - there will NOT be a store stop. We'll be riding into the sun(set) - remember to charge your bike lights for the ride home. BANNED RIDERS: If you are banned from any rides, you are also banned from this ride. This ride will be a safer space for 2SLGBTQIA+ and bipoc folks with a zero tolerance policy for non-consent, discrimination, or phobic behavior. Never record others or take pictures without a person's verbal consent (no is a complete answer.) Google glasses are not allowed on this ride.
