HAPPY THURSDAY
COMMUNITY BIKE RIDE
The Happy Thursday Ride is a weekly community bicycle ride around Sandusky, Ohio. We ride at a slow pace and wish everyone we see a "Happy Thursday!" Riders meet every Thursday, weather pending, and roll through various neighborhoods, parks and rest stops. Participants bring favors, friends and refreshments to enjoy along the way and celebrate weekly themes. We do around 20 rides a year. Between 50-200 riders participate.
Times are announced on our FACEBOOK PAGE each week, but we usually meet at 6:30pm in the Summer and ride at 7pm. We meet at Washington Park near Vita and City Hall on the corner of Columbus Ave & Washington. You can also message us at SanduskyBayCycles@gmail.com for more information. We ride from June to October. You can also call 720-385-9377 for more information. Our first community ride in 2024 will be May 30. Meet at 6:30pm and we will ride at 7pm.
