FreeRide Bicycle Ride @ OTB Friday, 7pm
Topic pretty much says it all, hopefully this isn't supposed to be secret:
===
Hey All,
At Free-Ride, mostly, we hide out in a dark, dank, corner of
Construction Junction and tinker with bikes there; but sometimes, we
ride those bikes.
If you would like to join us for a bike ride, please do, next week,
Friday, June 8, 7:00 PM at Over the Bars Cafe on Carson Street.
The ride will begin at Over The Bars Cafe and end at the same place.
The route is going to be a sort of ~12 mile triangle, across Hot-Metal
bridge, up towards the Northernmost part of Liberty Avenue, then back
down across the Fort-Pitt Bridge, avoiding major traffic where
possible. Pace will be very moderate - something
[other well known, former ride]/Critical Mass-esq. Route map is attached.
Happy Trails !
