 What: ~8 mile bike ride from Mt. Tabor Community Garden to Leach Botanical Garden. Some small hills, nothing too gnarly. This is a casual-paced ride and not a race. This is also a no drop ride.

What we provide: We will provide ride leaders and volunteer corkers. Light snacks provided.

The ride back from Leach to Mt. Tabor: The official ride ends once we arrive at Leach. There will be an unofficial return ride from Leach to Mt. Tabor. The way back will be more casual, if you want us to keep an eye out for you please let a ride leader know.

Bathrooms: We’ll take a pit stop on the way somewhere with bathrooms. There are bathrooms at Leach, too.
