Come join us on the 1st annual West Bank Ride!!
The West Bank Ride is a new non-competitive cycling event inviting participants to explore one of the Twin Cities’ most vibrant and bike-friendly neighborhoods. It will occur on Saturday, April 27th from 1:00-4:00 PM.
Stop by our Pit Stop at WBSM and “Take a Brake for Music”! Enjoy folk/traditional, classic country, jazz, blues, vintage pop and original music on the front porch of the West Bank School of Music. Instruments will be on hand for participants to try.
Here’s how it works:
1) Cyclists meet up at Murphy Park at Augsburg College to register and receive a printed map outlining routes to interactive pitstops, and bike routes between them, throughout the area.
2) Participants can choose from several routes depending on the distance they would like to cover, reaching as far as the University’s East Bank. You will be invited to join a “pod” of other cyclists to accompany you, or go it alone if you prefer!
3) Take a bike ride through the neighborhood at your own speed and take a breather at designated pitstops to enjoy familiar and lesser-known West Bank landmarks, adult- and family-friendly games, special entertainment, and optional scavenger hunt-style tasks.
4) As the ride draws to a close, join fellow riders for special events and food and drink discounts at the many eateries and entertainment venues throughout the West Bank.
There’s even a Mini-Ride for kids and families! Find out all the details, and register online, by visiting www.westbankride.org. They’re looking for volunteers, too!
