Description
Join us for our second Pastry Ride of 2026 on Saturday, April 11th!
These community rides include pastries, coffee, great prizes, and lots of good vibes. We'll meetup in the parking lot behind Perennial Cycle at 9am and will roll out at 9:30am. 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! We'll be riding 6 miles to North Loop Playground and will have our special Pastry Ride photo book and bike portrait taking at the start of the ride.
On this week's ride, we're collecting monetary donations for rent relief. MIM is a grassroots non profit that operates state-wide to uplift and unite Latino communities in the state of Minnesota. All proceeds collected at our shop event will be contributed to MIMs Rent Assistance Program. You can contribute by making a direct donation to MIM or by purchasing a screen printed shirt or poster that will be available at Saturdays ride. More information about the Minnesota Immigrant Movement can be found on their website. We'll have custom abolish ICE shirts and posters available for sale and all of the profits will go to MIM.
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!
While these rides are very family friendly, the distances are typically farther than a child less than 12 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.
