Strawberry Moon Ride & Picnic

Welcome to the fold with a sweet meetup this month!

Come after work to meet others for a Strawberry Moon inspired menu created by Hannah at Pedaal.

We will roll out at 6:30pm for a 11 km chill ride down to the Martin Goodman Trail.

There we'll set up a picnic in the Humber Bay Shores Park. We'll select the best spot to enjoy the moon and cityscape. Added bonus, there are a handful of other awesome vantage points nearby for different angles on the moonrise.

Sunset is at 8:59 with the moon rising in the east northeast.

Please ensure you have fully charged lights.

The group ride is a 'one way' to the Park.

What to bring?

• Please ensure you bicycle is ready to roll.
• Head and tail lights are essential
• A picnic blanket or towel as the grass may be damp
• Food! Bring your own OR there are some cafe choices on Marine Parade Drive and sometimes some food trucks nearby
• Beverages

Washrooms are nearby at Sir Casimir Gzowski Park.

Weather and Cancellation
If the forecast is rain the event will be cancelled by noon the day of the ride.

Stargazers, get ready for some low-hanging fruit.

In addition to being the final full moon of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, June's Strawberry Moon will be the lowest full moon of the year as seen from north of the equator, as well as one of the farthest from the sun.

The moon will become full at 3:45 am EDT Wednesday (June 11), but because that's so early in the day, the best time to see it will be Tuesday (June 10) evening, when it rises during dusk. As you watch the moon appear, look to its upper right to spot Antares, a bright star 550 light-years away, in the constellation Scorpius.
