Curb Your Car Month: Ypsi Bike to Work Days May 23, 2008

Meet up with local Ypsi-to-Ann Arbor commuters every Friday in May for a leisurely ride to work.

We will gather in the morning on May 2, 9, 23 and 30 at 8:00am at Bombadill's coffee shop (217 W. Michigan Ave) for specials on coffee and baked goods.

From there we ride to St. Joseph's Hospital and Washtenaw Community College, through Gallup Park, across U-M central campus, and end up in downtown Ann Arbor.

We will reverse our route for the trip home, leaving at 5:15pm from AA City Hall (100 N Fifth Ave) and ending at Haab's (18 W Michigan Ave in downtown Ypsilanti) for free happy hour appetizer with every bike helmet!.

Riders are welcome to join or leave the ride wherever is most convenient for their commute. Feel free to ride with us out to AA, home to Ypsi, or both. Helmets are strongly encouraged.

On May 16, there is a 'Bike to Work Day Rally' sponsored by the League of Michigan Bicyclists at 8:00am, so we will be leaving from Bombadill's at 7:15am in order to catch some of the free food, give-aways, and good biking energy. The ride home will leave, as usual, from City Hall at 5:15pm.

If you are a bike commuter who can't ride with us or uses a different route, please feel free to join us for pre-work coffee at Bombadill's or Bike Ypsi Happy Hour at Haab's every Friday in May!

Bike Ypsi would like to thank Bombadill's coffee shop and Haab's restaurant for their generous support of these rides!
