Moon Valley Annual Christmas Lights Bicycle Ride & Dinner
Vegan & Vine, 502 E Thunderbird Rd,, Phoenix, AZ, USMoon Valley has a Christmas Light Decoration Contest that would make Clark Griswold green with envy.
Come join our friend Jack, our bike host! - for this festive ride!!
They also have a nice series of bike friendly streets.
We’ll take a leisurely ride through the neighborhood ooohhhhing and ahhhhing at the variety of displays covering about 10 miles on mostly flat streets and cul-de-sac’s.
This is a very social ride so the pace will be slow and the conversation high. Feel free to decorate your bike and yourself.
5pm We’ll start with dinner at Vegan & Vine.
*Dinner: 5:00 p.m. at Vegan & Vine: https://veganandvineco.com/menu/*
6:30pm If you prefer to ONLY come on the ride, no problem - plan to be at our starting point behind the restaurant in front of Safeway no later than 6:30.
Kick Stands Up at 6:30 p.m. in the Parking Lot behind the restaurant
The ride will end at the starting point (well isn't that convenient!).
SAFETY FIRST!! HELMETS are REQUIRED because your brain is the only thing getting you home and you can't stay at my house. Also, front and rear LIGHTS are REQUIRED unless your bike is decorated by Jeannette. Bring plenty of water and I suggest dressing warm. It will get cool at night on a bicycle, but no fear, we'll warm you up after the ride. (Ken, bring the flame thrower).
As if this really needs to be said......but Joe told me to say it. You are responsible for you. Ride your own ride. We will regularly stop and allow stragglers to catch up so there is no need to ride with abandon.
OK, done....questions? Post a comment, but come, this is always fun!
