**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: 12.5 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:**
Mostly rolling with a couple longer hills. The climbs are manageable, but also a bit more challenging than most of our short routes.

*Climbs (steeper than +4% grade):*
- Dana to Marion Ave (~0.5 mi; max 5% grade)
- Montgomery Road as we head back to Pleasant Ridge (~0.6 mi; max ~4.5-5% grade).

*Descents (steeper than neg 4% grade):*
- Lester Road (~1.2 mi; max neg 4-5% grade) as we head out of Pleasant Ridge
- Dana Ave (~0.3 mi; max neg 4.5% grade) - On the multi-use path
- Rose Hill Ave (~0.3 mi; max neg 7% grade) - Yeehaw!

**Traffic stress:**
- ~80% of this ride will be on low-traffic streets and multi-use paths

*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 along Tennessee/Ross Ave as we head back toward Pleasant Ridge. We are riding in a direction that provides good downhill speed and/or two lanes in most of the busier sections.
- We will be there to share traffic tips and help you feel comfortable

**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 4:00pm.

---

**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.

Ride Pleasant Streets - 3rd Saturday Long Edition

Cincinnati Recycling & Reuse Hub is partnering with Mobo Bicycle Coop and Queen City Bike for a special collection of bicycles, bike tires, and tubes for reuse and recycling.

Donated bicycles, helmets, parts, and tools will be directed to MoBo Bicycle Co-op for their youth cycling programs, and to Queen City Bike for their Mobility Together program.

And bring your old bicycle tires and tubes—these will also be recycled!

About MoBo:

MoBo Bicycle Coop is a volunteer coop that works to teach children and adults how to fix their own bicycles using recycled parts diverted from landfills. Bikes and parts donated will, depending on size and condition, be used to teach children and teens bike repair and be taken home for free, stripped into parts and recycled onto other bikes, or shined up for our annual bike sale!

About Queen City Bike:

Queen City Bike's Mobility Together is a program that empowers newly arrived refugees with bikes for transportation—while sharing in bike repair skills and community along the way.

Bikes are liberating and helpful in countless ways, from enabling time-efficient travel to essential destinations like ESL classes and asylum appointments; to transport of groceries and household supplies; to expansion of community joy and growth.

A bike donated to Mobility Together is guaranteed to be ridden, used, loved, and appreciated. They'll accept bikes that are old or new; bikes from Walmart, specialty shops, or anything in between; bikes that are big or little; and even bikes that are broken. Two wheels good. Parts and wheels are also accepted. They will refurbish and fix what they can, and any unusable items will be recycled at the Hub.

Bike Donation & Tire/Tube Recycling at The Hub
