Description
Join us for our first Pastry Ride of 2026 on Saturday, April 4th!
These community rides include pastries, coffee, great prizes, and lots of good vibes. We'll meetup in the parking lot behind Perennial Cycle at 9 am and will roll out at 9:30 am. This is a no-drop ride. We stick together and ride at a friendly, social pace between 7 and 10 mph. You can leave your race kit at home!
For this week's ride, we will be riding five miles to Riverside Park.
Pastry Rides have always been in support of the many of us that take the 30 Days of Biking pledge to ride our bikes every day in April. It is scientifically proven that people that commit to riding every day in April end up smiling more and ultimately putting on more miles in the season ahead. 😁 Join us by Making the Pledge!
On this week's ride, we're collecting book donations for Women's Prison Book Project. Bring a few new/like new books to donate. Our WPBP friends and Pastry Riders Eleanor and Aliya will be collecting books and available to answer questions and share info about all the great work WPBP has been doing since 1994 as a 100% volunteer run non profit. More information about book donation is available on the WPBP website.
While these rides are very family friendly, the distances are typically farther than a child less than 8 will be able to comfortably do by themselves. So if you have a younger child that wants to ride, it will be best if you have an option for them to get a ride with you if they get tired, or start to lag behind the group.
PLEASE BRING: a helmet and a reusable coffee mug. You may also want a lock to secure your bike once we arrive. Dress for the weather. This ride typically will roll rain or shine (or snow).
A NOTE REGARDING PARKING: Out of courtesy to the neighboring businesses, we ask that ride participants who arrive by car use the ample street parking available and refrain from parking in the lot behind Perennial Cycle.
We will be hosting Pastry Rides every Saturday this month (that’s 4 opportunities to enjoy pastries, biking, and fun)! New rides will be posted every Saturday afternoon.
Marshals will be on the rides with first aid kits and bike tools, should any issues arise. A photographer will also be present. Please speak to the photographer directly if you prefer not to have pictures taken of you.
