The weekend is almost here. And in case you didn’t realize, we’ve likely left warm summer days behind for good, so it’s always a good idea to check event websites for updates in case of rain delays or cancellations. And don’t forget to pack a rain coat and/or extra layer (especially if you’re on an e-bike).
Here are my picks for this weekend…
Saturday, October 11th
