Casual Saturday (Recreational Ride)
Details
Welcome to Casual Saturday, our weekly ride. We're doing things differently this week. We'll be going to New York Bagel and Bialy in Lincolnwood. I recommend bringing a small backpack if you're thinking of hauling back a dozen of these bagels.
** NO QUEENS LANDING THIS WEEKEND**
