Joy Ride Series Presents: Bike to the Beach

/in , /by

Throw on your suit, hop on your bike and join the Minneapolis Bicycle Coalition on Sunday, August 4 for the next Joy Ride.

The event will begin at Freewheel Midtown Bike Center on the Midtown Greenway at 12:30 p.m. Arrive early to check in, get to know your fellow riders and enter the raffle.  The group will leave Freewheel at 1 p.m. and bike around Lake Calhoun, Lake Harriet, and Cedar Lake, with three stops along the way (help your fellow riders stay cool: supersoakers are encouraged!). Our first stop will be North Beach on Lake Harriet to enjoy some beach games, swimming and good ol’ sunshine. You’ll then continue on to Beard’s Plaisance Park on Lake Harriet for a FREE lunch, provided by Jimmy John’s, as well as a raffle.  The last stop of the day is Hidden Beach on Cedar Lake.

Things to bring: Protect your noggin – helmets are required. Squirt guns! Swimsuit and towels for those wishing to swim. Beverages (sorry, no alcohol allowed).
