Time: 11:00am - 2:00pm

Location: Gold Medal Park

30 Days of Biking: MSP Kickoff Ride

Led by Mario Macaruso, Minneapolis’ Bicycling Bodhisattva, let’s celebrate the beginning of 30 Days of Biking.

We’ll meet at 11 a.m., chit-chat till noon, then roll out on a slow-paced bike stroll through our spring-beautiful Twin Cities. We’ll loop right back to Gold Medal Park and end with festivities at Bike MS: Upper Midwest's headquarters. All attendees will get FREE sign-up for this year’s Twin Cities Ride, and there’ll even be treats and Porta-Potties! That’s right, we’re finally Biff-legit.

BONUS: This ride will be filmed, from on high and on foot, by the drones and pro videographers of local startup Maverick Drone Systems, and the eventual video will be scored by local bands and musicians. Awesome.

SPOKE CARDS: Find Ginny for your limited run 30DOB Spoke Card & Donate $2 (or MORE!) for Free Bikes 4 Kidz!
