We Bike Rochester Annual Holiday Lights Ride
Saturday, December 20 at 6 p.m.
Route Start/End: River Center shopping mall, 1615 N Broadway Ave (the strip mall with, Fiesta Cafe, Corona’s Tacos, etc.)
Come join us for a festive time at River Shopping Mall for our annual Holiday Lights Ride! Grab your bike, warm clothes, lights, and get ready to see the lights with fellow riders. If you’re new to winter biking, get tips and see the equipment of others.
We’d love to treat participants to a round of drinks after the ride! To keep things manageable, we have a budget of $100 for the group. Once we hit that limit, additional drinks will be at your own expense. Thanks for understanding!
Holiday costumes, bicycle decorations and/or lights are highly encouraged. There might even be a special guest rider in a red suit, who knows? After the ride, we will return to the mall where there are several choices for food, drinks and holiday cheer. Friends and family are welcome. We hope to see you there!
We will gather in the parking lot of the River Center shopping mall, 1615 N Broadway Ave (the strip mall with, Fiesta Cafe, Corona’s Tacos, etc.) and ride into the Elton Hills neighborhood to see some home holiday lights displays. Depending on the weather and number of riders, we may also take a loop around Silver Lake. If you are aware of any particularly good light displays in the Elton Hills or Silver Lake areas, please pass their addresses onto us at info@webikerochester.org.
