Tonight is the BikeFest edition of the monthly Northside Ride.

The Northside Ride occurs every second Wednesday of the month and is a leisurely exploration of surrounding areas. The route is largely undetermined and is decided by participants before the ride takes off. The ride is usually about seven miles and tonight will head towards the Troy Hill Spray Park for a quick cool off.

The meandering ride will stop at the Park House on East Ohio for some tasty food, beverages, conversation, and laughter. Specials will be available for BikeFest participants.

Those wishing to continue the unique Northside adventure should stick around for Banjo night at the Elk’s Lodge, a Northside tradition.
