Arrive 30 mins early for free coffee and bagels. We'll be taking off at 9am! We'll ride along the streets in downtown Columbia--don't forget your helmet--and along the MKT.

Riders are also welcome to turn around early if they wish.

11:00 am - Picnic in the Park

All are welcome to gather in Peace Park for yard games, enjoy local food trucks for lunch, and hang with friends to celebrate Pride Month!
