9th Annual R.E.Load Maypril Fools Fun Ride
Essentially a huge scavenger hunt, you'll be given a list of stops at the start, each with a different points value assigned to them. Registration begins 12pm. Entry fee: $10.

Bicycle Ambassador Service Station on the Schuylkill River Trail, 8am-12pm
Come out to the base of the trail (25th and Locust) to meet our new team of Bicycle Ambassadors, brush up on your bike safety tricks, and get a quick check of that bike you just pulled out of the basement for bike-to-work day. Look out for guest bike mechanics, too!


Next week: Free Urban Riding Classes at the BCGP Office on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Then, on Friday, Philly's biggest Bike-to-Work-Day ever!
