We're ready to ride! (And eat pizza!)

Tuesday, May 20 brings our first Clean Wisconsin & Friends Bike Club event of the season! 

We. Are. So. Excited! And we hope you are, too!

Here, you'll find everything you need to know about the ride, the post-ride event, Pizza on the Patio, and other need-to-know info!

The Ride

This week, our short ride is our 7-mile Wingra Creek Loop, and the longer ride is a 14-miler around Lake Monona. Check out the route maps here.

Rides are at your own pace, which means you're welcome to ride together as a group, but are also free to do whatever you want: power ahead, stop to take pictures, etc.

Rides are family-friendly and open to all riders!

We leave at 5:30 p.m. from the Clean Wisconsin office, 634 W. Main St., Madison. If you need to drive, there is limited lot parking, but a fair amount of street parking.

The Event

After the ride, we'll regroup for Pizza on the Patio! Stick around for some 'za and drinks and chat with Clean Wisconsin staff and fellow bikers. We will have a variety of Ian's pizzas on hand to suit your palate.

So we can plan accordingly, RSVP to this email or on Facebook.

There is no cost for Pizza on the Patio!
