Ride to It’s Giving Market – 1:15 pm at Ladd Circle (SE)
There’s a cool holiday market with lots of bike merch that would make great gifts and there will be no billionaires involved. Why not bike there in a group? More info here.

Tom Howe will lead this ride over the river and through the woods to a neighborhood in Vancouver that goes all out with Christmas decorations. More info here.

Techno Christmas Peacock Lane Takeover – 6:00 pm at Irving Park (NE)
