Community Rides

Every Wednesday there are group rides around the city and tonight Yessa, Buds, and I tried out our first one.

Yessa deserves all the credit for getting us to go. It’s been a busy day and Buds and I would have bailed if not for Yessa.

This week we rode in several parts of town we’d never been to, and parts we know very well.

There were between 25-30 folks on the ride and they were so friendly and fun. It was a glorious mix of folks of all ages, shades, shapes, and personalities.

The ride is sponsored by the Department of Recreation and Human Services, but the spirit behind them is driven by Reconnect Rochester which is a biking group Buds has been following since before we moved here. Having humans dedicated to making/developing the biking culture in the city is critical.

It was such fun on the warm August evening.

So warm that when we got home, Buds enjoyed a Ruby Red Kolsch and I sipped a Radler.

Says right on the can it’s a biking recovery drink.

Totally legit.
