CANCELED

The PPP returns for its SIXTH season!  A casual bicycle ride traversing approx. 3-5 miles (5-8km) with a different route each time. The end destination is a mystery park.  The term "park" will be used liberally here, so expect the unexpected!   At the endpoint we'll enjoy a picnic dinner. Eating will be potluck style, so please bring food and drink to share (preferably vegetarian/vegan). Bring lights! Please bring your own silverware, plate, and cup. We will stop at a grocery store along the way. If it looks like it'll rain we'll end up at a COVERED destination.
