Last Saturday night, I went on my first bike ride with Cycle Memphis! They organize a group ride on the first Saturday evening of every month. They always start at the Cooper-Young gazebo, but the route is different every time and usually includes a stop for ice cream. They even have music – one of the organizers pulls a big speaker behind him. I first heard of the group a few months ago, but they require lights on your bike, and I didn’t get lights until last week. Now I’m sorry I waited so long. We did a 10-mile route that took us downtown and back. The pace was pretty leisurely, and no one acted like Lance Armstrong or anything. It was a whole new way to see the city, and being downtown on a bike was really cool. Plus, the weather couldn’t have been more perfect.
This sounds SO fun!
I don’t even enjoy bike-riding and this seems like so much fun!
Night riding is always special, but doing it with a bunch of people and the big speaker is addicting. Looking forward to see you on following rides!
Fun!! You inspire me to try new things. Love the summer blog look!
I’m the one you knew heeee :-P That was only my 2nd time out on that ride, but I’ll definitely be back again. I’ll be sad when we have to break for winter.
I love the pictures you took!
