This Thursday, 9/11, 6 p.m., we're meeting at the Fulton Beer taproom for our annual Back to School ride! Bring along a school supply donation and we'll make sure it gets to a school that needs it. Our plan is to ride from Fulton to the #BikeNight celebration at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.

When we said Floatie Ride, we didn’t mean we want to float along the streets. 😆 Ride still planned for today but we’ll steer away from the beach.

Joyful Riders Club @joyfulridersclub.bsky.social · Aug 10

Floatie Ride coming up next Saturday! Bring your floaties, swimsuit and flippy-floppies and let’s bike to the beach together! Short route to maximize the beach time.

As a general policy, we DO ride in the rain. We don’t ride if there’s danger that somebody will get struck by lightning. That’s a big “no way!”

Planning outdoor events has been a helluva thing this summer, lemme tell ya. What a rollercoaster!

Yes to the ride, but no DJ at this one! Just the pleasant sounds of nature and cyclist conversation.

Joyful Riders Club @joyfulridersclub.bsky.social · Aug 16

Looks like the rain should be done by the time we ride! However, there’s risk of grossness from the rain, so we’re considering other route options.

Joyful Riders Club @joyfulridersclub.bsky.social · Aug 16

Wary of the water quality. We’ll check tomorrow! Either way we ride!

Joyful Riders Club @joyfulridersclub.bsky.social · Aug 16

Hey, all! There's an increased risk of E. coli in the lakes after heavy rain, like we're experiencing today. For that reason, we're considering a Plan B for tomorrow that will still be TONS OF FUN! Either way, we'll meet up at Fulton tomorrow at 12 p.m. and go for a slow-paced social ride together.

The bike that Mary used for Saturday’s ride has been stolen! Please keep an eye out. Details below.

ScaryMM @marymm.bsky.social · Aug 10

And...this beautiful bike was stolen this morning. There aren't a ton of Yuba Fastrack's out there...please keep an eye out. Light blue, integrated back rack (multi-position), and the thief does not have a key to the battery.
