We'll leave from the shop (202 S Broadway Ave, Urbana) and ride at a leisurely pace on the Urbana-Champaign roads that we think Sheldon would have enjoyed. No drops. All riders welcome! The route's attached. You can also check it out here . If you need to check on your bike prior to the ride, the shop will be holding special open hours from 5:00-6:30 PM. We're happy to guide you through any adjustments or repairs. See y'all out there!

WTFNB Nights, like the usual Open Hours, offer a safe space, but are exclusively reserved for WTFNB folks. During them, WTFNB cyclists will have the opportunity to work on their bikes and learn about bike maintenance from WTFNB mechanics. No appointments will be needed at present, but please be aware that we only have so many bike stands and we will be constrained by available stand space. We will do our best to accommodate everyone and do not anticipate running out of space, although we also don't quite know what to expect. Please let me know if you have any questions, and I look forward to meeting some of you who are WTFNB cyclists in just a few short days. Love and regards, Kelley -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

On past rides, we've been stoked to meet fellow cyclists from diverse disciplines ? urban, CX, and MTB ? who also appreciate the beauty and simplicity of just one cog. We're looking forward to mashing with them again and making new friends too. Climb into the saddle of your little fixed gear pony and giddyap with TBP. The ride begins at the Urbana shop (202 S Broadway Ave, Urbana), after Sunday open hours (5:30 PM), and will roll at a social pace (12-15 mph) by nearby pastures with our horse kin. Check out the route here: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/39066152 No drops. Everyone's welcome! If you need to check on your bike prior to the ride, you can make an appointment during open hours (3:00-5:30) at the Setmore link below. We're happy to guide you through any adjustments or repairs. https://thebikeprojectofurbanachampaign.setmore.com/ See you out there!
