End location: Mock's Crest
Gate's open, come on in! This is an easy, breezy, beautiful NE ride with limited climbs. Bring a friend, make a friend, have fun What to Expect: Some very chill schoolyard games and Summer camp style activities. Inclusive to all ages and pet-friendly if your pets are friendly. We'll meet at 2 pm at Irving Park, takeoff by 2:30 but adhering to beer minutes. We will include at least 1 store stop, 1 park stop, and end at Mock's Crest to throw bikes and blankets down for some good ol' hang time. We encourage you to bring things like bubbles, chalk, hoops, jump-rope, bracelet-making supplies like beads or thread. This ride is a celebration of friendship. Last year we came, we saw, we made you play blob tag and you liked it enough that we figured we'd keep that ice breaker this year. This year - we will do the same but also include our community guideline expectations: Community Expectations: - Pack it in, pack it out - Nothing is friendlier than consent - if it's not a hell yeah, it's a fuck no. - Thank your corkers! (The nice folks who pull off at intersections to ensure cars let us safely pass). - This is an all ages ride. Now don't get me wrong, this girl loves nothing more than having her claws around a claw, but please be mindful of your limits. If you get rambunctious and are acting unsafe, the fun police (aka Me) are going to sit you down and give you one of those "I'm disappointed in you" talks which may end in my asking you to leave. - We love dogs! But not all dogs love bikes, kids, and car noises. If your dog (or cat, or ferret) are going to be stressed by the ride, leave that friend at home. For example, my own dog isn't allowed on this ride, cus he has something against children and men in hats having fun. Be mindful of your pet friend's feelings and needs. - - - SAFETY FIRST - - - - No bullying, hate-speech, or intimidation tolerated, period. I don't care if they're wearing Tevas and you're more of a Chacos person play nice or you will be asked to leave. (In all seriousness, all are welcome and all deserve to feel safe). - We adhere by the laws of the road, which includes yielding at stop signs when cars have the right of way. We will review basic bike hand signals and discuss further at the ride. - Do not try to fight the cars. You will not win, if anything you will potentially further anger the driver of said car who has the potential to seriously harm bystanders. If a car driver is being an absolute jerk, come grab a ride leader to handle the situation. - If a situation arises and you feel unsafe, please grab a ride leader.
