Yum!!!
PedalGR, meeting at 6:30pm on Wednesday, 8/11/2010 at Founder’s Brewing Company, 235 Grandville Ave SW. PedalGR is a ride of the Rapid Wheelmen Bicycle Club.
It’s HOT! Ice cream is COLD! This week we’ll be riding to ice cream, then to beer. My dream ride, really. The Rapid Wheelmen Bicycle Club is generously purchasing the first $2 of your cold, delicious treat from Too Talls on Coit Ave. If you think you might want something that costs more than $2, be sure to bring extra.
We’ll also explore a hidden trail and bridge on the NE side, and hit up a “ghost” development, where the streets were put in, but the houses never built (yet). It’s a very efficient use of tax dollars.
It’s going to be warm, so don’t forget to bring plenty of water! I repeat, bring lots of water!
The Route:

Need to Know:
- This is a no-drop ride. We will do our very best to keep the group together and make sure no-one gets separated or left behind.
- WATER! WATER! WATER! WATER! WATER!
- Ride is about 16 miles and will take about 2-2 1/2 hours (PedalGR is not a race).
- HELMETS ARE REQUIRED on Rapid Wheelmen Club rides. (The insurance company’s lawyers insist) Please email or comment if you need to borrow one and we will try to accommodate you.
Save The Date:
EDIT: The first version of this entry had a Teamwork Bags event. Oops, turns out they don’t update their blog very often and the Sunday Prime was last year. Maybe someday PedalGR will have a competent copy editor to review the posts BEFORE I screw them up. Until then, my apologies.
