RIDE CANCELED DUE TO RAIN ☔️🚲🌷

——————

Join us on Saturday, May 3, 2025 @ 2:00 PM as we explore Quiet neighborhood streets, a Calm street design on Blue Ash Road, and a few "secret" bike/ped-only paths that make our journey Connected. During our ride we will visit a diverse collection of schools, parks, and retail... all accessible by bike!

This is a beginner-friendly route that takes advantage of the bike lane on Montgomery Road and quiet neighborhood streets. Newer riders will also enjoy the mild terrain—no big climbs and one of our gentlest routes!
