(also known as the Girl Scout Bridge)

All are welcome! Slow paced ride for everyone!

Saturday, November 1st
Meet at 2pm in the parking lot of <a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/oCgdcpmQ5ozW7kKR7" target="_blank">Roebling Books - Covington</a>
Return by 4pm with a post-ride gathering at <a href="http://www.atthegruff.com/" target="_blank">The Gruff</a> with drinks and snacks provided

In 2022, Gloria San Miguel was struck by a car and killed while riding her bike from Newport to Covington over the Girl Scout Bridge. Since her tragic death, friends and community members have been working to get bike lanes on the bridge and make the river cities safer for all pedestrians.

The bike lanes on the newly named, Go With Glo Bridge, give us hope that our communities are committed to being a safe place for all. Come ride to celebrate with us, as we show our appreciation for the lanes, and our expectation of more bike infrastructure to come!

Join us on Saturday, Nov 1 @ 2:00 PM as we make our way from Pleasant Ridge to beautiful Ault Park. It's a brilliant time of year to enjoy trees and nature and the changing fall colors. We will also visit the site of the historic Cincinnati Observatory as an added treat.

To help us with planning and quick check-ins, please <a href="https://form.jotform.com/230406444221140" target="_blank">PRE-REGISTER HERE</a> 🙌

You can also register on-site if preferred. The ride is FREE! At Queen City Bike, creating a caring community is a core value. Your registration enables us to reach you and your important people if needed, and also provide you with $10K of supplemental medical insurance. We've got you covered so you can focus on the bike joy!

Departure Time: 2:00pm
- Please plan to arrive early so we can all leave in a punctual fashion
- We will meet in front of Community Happens Here
- Ride leaders will be there by 1:45pm to answer any questions

Distance: 15.1 miles

Difficulty:
- Mid-level Beginners and above
- All riders should be comfortable with basic bike-handling and traffic skills
- Route is not suitable for young children, but may be a good match for proficient teenagers (per discretion of parents)
- We will regroup as needed throughout the ride

Terrain:
The route is predominantly rolling, but has fewer flat stretches and more harder climbs than our typical "Sat Short" events. 

Climbs (steeper than +4% grade):
- Observatory Ave. (~0.7 mi; max 4-5% grade) as we head out of Ault Park
- Montgomery Road as we head back to Pleasant Ridge (~0.6 mi; max ~4.5-5% grade).
- A handful of smaller climbs are also scattered amidst our loop through Mt. Lookout.

Descents (steeper than neg 4% grade):
- Lester Road (~1.2 mi; max neg 4-5% grade) as we head out of Pleasant Ridge
- Observatory Drive (max neg 6.5% grade) as we sweep out of Ault Park
- Both of these are moderate descents that are great for building your confidence!

Traffic stress:
- >90% of this ride will be on low-traffic streets

Higher-stress areas:
- The busiest area will be riding through the center of Pleasant Ridge (on Montgomery). The multiple traffic lights, the lower traffic volume on weekends, and our presence as a group will all help to reduce the stress in this section.
- The second busiest area will be rolling down Erie Ave. toward Marburg Ave. We will be carrying good speed in this section, however, so not many cars will need to pass us. When we arrive at Erie and Marburg, we will do a special turn-around loop that will reduce stress at this often-busy junction. 

Post-ride:
- Let’s gather at <a href="https://www.ninegiant.com/brewpub" target="_blank">Nine Giant</a> after the ride!
- We should be done with the ride by about 4:30pm. 

————

Safety Notes:
- Helmets required
- Bike must be in good working condition. Please contact me if you have any questions!

Weather Notes:
- In the event of adverse weather, I will post an update on the day of the ride—at or before 1pm
- Updates will be shared on the Facebook event page, and also via the Ride Pleasant Streets Google Group
- No message means the ride is still on!

Parking:
- Community Happens Here asks that if at all possible, we do NOT use their parking lot during our events.
- Abundant FREE parking is located at the Pleasant Ridge Community Parking Lot, behind the Walgreens at 6204 Montgomery Road. This is ONE block from Community Happens Here.

Every Monday is Kids Day at MoBo Bicycle Co-op in Northside! 

Kids can come learn to fix their bikes and enjoy bike-related programming all year long. Kids will sign up for a free annual youth membership, which includes *one free used bike a year* to learn to fix and maintain. Members can then come to the co-op year-round to repair their bikes, learn mechanical skills, and help other kids learn to use tools.

**Do it yourself:** MoBo is not a "free bike giveaway," but a space for youth to repair and reuse secondhand bikes with the support of volunteer mechanics. 

Kids Day is first-come-first-served and we generally stop taking new projects an hour before close. If you're coming for a bike, arrive early and expect to spend at least one hour learning to fix it. Come in throughout the night with repairs and projects. Kids Day utilizes 5 workbenches, 2 tool buckets, and at least 3 mechanics.

**Youth Membership:** Sign up in-person or [online](https://www.jotform.com/form/231715389904059) or a free youth membership, which is good for the calendar year. A youth membership always includes one free used bike, along with locks, lights, and adjustable helmets as long as funding allows.

Have questions, plan to bring a group, or want to volunteer? Contact us using the "Email Organizer" link above.

Want to donate to support this program? Share used bikes and parts during open hours and [share funds here](https://www.paypal.com/us/fundraiser/charity/1720056).

An inclusive group ride for folks and bikes of all kinds! We'll roll around the urban basin with routes that focus on calm streets, local knowledge, and building confident ridership. 8-12mph avg, conversational pace, less than 20 miles, never too much climbing. No drop, very supportive, refreshments at Wooden Cask Brewery afterward. Meet at 7th and Orchard in Newport near Reser Bicycle Outfitters. Parking is available at the National Band and Tag lot on Seventh or Wooden Cask Brewery on York. Meet at 6:00pm; roll out at 6:15pm, please arrive a little early. Return to Wooden Cask by 8:00pm What to bring: yourself, your bike, some water, blinkie lights, your helmet, and maybe a spare tube for your ride (we'll have a mechanic who can help in the event of needed repairs). #ridewhatyoubrought #partypace Hosted by: QCB
