CINCO DE MAYO Ride TOMORROW with the 412 Flocks!

412 Flock! is trying to stay true to its word by bringing welcoming, family-friendly, all-inclusive, FREE events, so we're doing our first CINCO DE MAYO ride to welcome & celebrate the growing hispanic and latino bike community emerging in our city! Not only will we ride, we will also ***issue the 1st printing of the Spanish-language bike guide "BICI 101", with some basic information for spanish & bilingual bike users -a first for our city!*** This is something that 412 Flock! has been working together with Free Ride, the OTB (Over The Bar) Bicycle Cafe, and support from BikePgh. AND IF YOU CAN'T RIDE - just join us at the OTB later around 8pm and Celebrate with us!!! --Where?-- We'll meet at Dippy the Dino (on Forbes Ave in Oakland, in front of the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, across from the Cathedral of Learning). --When?-- We'll meet on TUESDAY MAY 5th at 6pm and leave at 6:30pm. --How long is the ride?-- About 9 miles. --What's the route?-- http://ridewithgps.com/routes/7757938 We'll start with a trip around Oakland, loop up through Bloomfield and down through the Strip, roll through Market Square, and finally ride down Carson Street to OTB. --Where does the ride end?-- We will finish the ride at OTB in the Southside, with a PEDAL PALE ALE SPECIAL at $5 a pint, with some of the money going to the Flock to support our Non-Profit efforts and programs. In addition, there will be deals on tacos and drink specials - it is TACO TUESDAY after all! --What should I bring?-- Helmets. Lights. A bike to put those lights on. And all your friends! --What happens in the case of rain/snow/zombie apocalypse?-- On the afternoon of the ride, we'll decide whether conditions are safe enough to ride. Look for updates here, on Twitter, and on our website a couple of hours before the start of the ride if things are looking sketchy. https://www.facebook.com/events/949501088433824/
