This will be a typical Thursday social ride but as a bonus, we will be learning about and playing the wonderful sport of bike polo during the stop(s). Traditional polo is played on horses but we prefer to play on bikes. We will have extra mallets so all you need to bring is yourself and your bike. If you want to come on the social ride but not participate in bike polo, that’s fine as well.

Now on to the usual stuff…
Ride leaves at 8:00
Start Spot: Pal’s Lounge
End Spot: Pal’s Lounge
Fearless ride leader: Sol
THEME: Bike Polo
Our rides are about 10 miles long. We will have one or two stops during the ride (usually parks or bars), so be sure to come prepared with refreshments and bike tools for the route.
We do our best to run a tracker, but we are volunteer based and sometimes it is not possible.
***Rules of the Ride***
*Harassment, intimidation, or discrimination of any kind will NOT be tolerated
* The leader remains in front of the ride at all times.
*Give yourself enough space from the rider in front of you to not run into a rear wheel in the event of an abrupt stop.
*Slower riders stay to the front of the ride to set the pace.
*Try to fill in gaps and keep the ride together.
*No littering
*If you imbibe, do so responsibly.
FOR NEWBIES
The actual ride leaves at 8. We will explore different areas of town every week, so if you miss us one week, you can always catch us the following week. Bring your speakers, lights, and smiles, and be ready to ride! Costumes are always fun.
We are always open to ideas, so feel free to message us. We do our best to post our ride info every Monday before a ride. We are always looking for more ride leaders!
