We’ve combined a casual ride (some at night) with an outdoor music performance in a beautiful setting. Join us each Thursday night at 6:30PM as we ride from the Cleveland Park Zoo approx. 9 miles up to Furman University to enjoy the Music by the Lake Concert Series 2016 (schedule below).
The concerts start at 7:30PM and last a little over an hour. Some bring a snack or entire picnic to enjoy during the music. Invite non-rider friends and family to meet you at Furman. After the concert we ride back down the trail in the dark. Front and back lights required. Helmets required and no ear buds please. Signed waiver also required to be part of the event.
