Get ready for our Roast Ride on Saturday, November 8! The ride will begin promptly at 10 AM, so please arrive early with plenty of time to sign waivers, ready bikes, and go over any preceding announcements. Ride is FREE, but due to limited capacity registration is required.

**About the Roast Ride**:
The Indianapolis Coffee Guide and the Indianapolis Cultural Trail have teamed up to combine a few of our favorite things: local coffee + bikes + the Cultural Trail.

Join us for a fun-filled morning exploring the vibrant coffee ☕️ scene in Indianapolis. Hop on your bike 🚲 and get ready to pedal through the city’s iconic Cultural Trail, stopping at some of the best local coffee ☕️ shops along the way.

Starting at 🧡 The Orange Bridge on the Canal (332 W. Walnut St)., this beginner-friendly group ride is the perfect opportunity to support local businesses while also exploring the amazing Cultural Trail. Whether you’re a coffee ☕️ connoisseur or just enjoy a good cup of local coffee, this bike 🚲 tour is sure to satisfy your caffeine cravings.

As we pedal through the city, you’ll also have the chance to admire the beautiful sights along the Indianapolis Cultural Trail and learn more about the incredible impact the Cultural Trail has had on the city. This world-class urban bike and pedestrian path connects various neighborhoods, parks, and cultural attractions, providing a scenic backdrop for our adventure.

So grab your bike, bring your friends, and join us for a day of coffee, cycling, and exploration. Don’t miss out on this exciting opportunity to discover the best coffee shops in Indianapolis while enjoying the amazing trail.

**Biking Options**!
We recommend bringing your own bike if possible. However, our friends at the Indianapolis Cultural Trail will be providing a limited number of free Pacers Bikeshare Bikes for each ride.

They also have adaptive bicycles, that are specifically designed for people who aren’t comfortable or have mobility challenges that make riding a two-wheeled bike difficult, that can be utilized.

> You WILL need to sign an additional waiver for these. Pacers Bikeshare bikes must be docked or locked when not in use.

**Indy Rides FREE**!
Are you a Marion County resident? You can ride Pacers Bikeshare for free, 30-minute trips! Learn more and sign up today. [https://pacersbikeshare.org/indyridesfree/](https://pacersbikeshare.org/indyridesfree/) To receive your pass by the Roast Ride, complete the process asap.”

I’ve had a few members ask me about a GroupMe or Discord server for the group- now they both exist!

Away from the Meetup app and serving as an extension of the Indy Young Professionals (IYP) group, you can now log into Discord and GroupMe through these links:

IYP Discord server: [IYP Official Discord server](https://discord.gg/PbN76ZR9)
> In the Discord server, you can view announcements for any upcoming events or updates to the group, message/voice and video chat with other members from the whole group (or members you met at one of the Meetups), pitch ideas for future events, and throw out informal plans to meet with members outside of scheduled events.

There are also channels for movie/game nights that will be utilized in the future!

IYP GroupMe:
[IYP Official GroupMe ](https://groupme.com/join_group/108308532/L7EmauPW)
> This GroupMe is another platform (group messaging) where you can meet and chat with other members of the IYP community. Feel free to use this to check for future event updates, chat informally with group members, and make plans/ideas for informal (or scheduled) events!

If there is anything that I can do to make any of these platforms a better place for everyone, feel free to message me in any of the group platforms above- Meetup, Discord, or GroupMe!

ANNOUNCEMENT ONLY: Discord and GroupMe now available!
