Happy weekend everyone. It’s the final weekend of Bike Summer, but that doesn’t mean summer biking is over! Quite the contrary. We’ve got lots of great days and nights for riding ahead. And of course our awesome community will make sure there’s always something fun to do if you need the motivation to get out there.
One quick note about start times in this guide: I often share the meet-up time, which means the ride will leave a half-hour or so later. But I also always assume folks will click the “more info” link and verify details before heading out. Have a good one!
