More Weekend Adventures Await
But wait, there’s more! The weekend isn’t just about films and socializing. In the spirit of community and fun, there’s also a bike ride event called the “River Ride with Friends.” This new ride replaces the former Tour de Tom and spans a scenic 14 miles, kicking off at Elizabeth Park. Picture yourself gliding through the beautiful landscapes, feeling the breeze against your skin as you pedal your way through the city of Gibraltar, all the way down to Lake Erie Metropark.
This event, organized by Downriver Linked Greenways, highlights the amazing work of Programs to Educate All Cyclists (PEAC). Based in Lincoln Park, PEAC is dedicated to empowering individuals with disabilities through cycling and active mobility. How cool is that? Not only will you enjoy the ride, but all proceeds will support this fantastic organization, ensuring that everyone gets a chance to experience the joy of biking.
