SLOW RIDE (from The Rails on Wright St.)SLOW RIDE (from The Rails on Wright St.)For March, the start/finish location is The Rails on Wright St. (502 E. Wright St.). Leaving at 4:30pm.
Together we'll tour local neighborhoods and explore new routes at a slow, steady and safe non-competitive pace. No spandex required! 😉
Ride lasts 1 hour and will start/return from the The Rails on Wright St.-- downtown Pensacola's newest outdoor event space! For March the host and sponsor is Powell Entertainment, a company that creates great events with "the right mood, with the right entertainment, in any atmosphere..." The after-party will include some music and tasty treats from the Pensacola Vegan Association. Thank you Christian Wagley for organizing these awesome, fun and needed events!
For more info on the Facebook event, click here
Join Bike Pensacola for the most popular bike ride in town—the Slow Ride! Each month we explore the quiet, scenic streets of Pensacola's many historic neighborhoods for a fun and leisurely ride among friends.
Because most cyclists are “self taught,” each month we offer information about bicycle laws, safety tips, and addressing different bicycling skills that will help keep rides safe and enjoyable. There is no charge for the ride and no registration required.
Nobody will be “dropped” or left behind. Children ages 10 - 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Cyclists under 16 must wear a helmet by law; ages 16 and up helmets are recommended but are not required by law. And we will enjoy a ride escort by officers of the Pensacola Police Department.
