By: BourbakiBefore we are entering winter hibernation we are going on one last ride! On Dec 17, meet us at the Bike Kitchen at 6pm to partake in discovering a winter wonderland on wheels. Bring your bike (not optional), winter decorations for your bike (admittedly, these are optional) and if you like, bring a festive hot beverage of your choice. The riding will be beginner friendly, but be prepared to ride in rain/drizzle/light snow if the day brings such adventure.
