Slow Roll Dinner Cruise

All events are on Tuesday evening.
Looking for a fun time with ADULTS? Join us for the Slow Roll Dinner Cruise. We'll meet at Midtown Plaza. We will lead the group at a casual pace on a ride for about 60 minutes. We'll end back at Midtown where you can enjoy eating at one of the many restaurants at Midtown Plaza.
What's the pace?
This is called a Slow Roll because we keep it casual. We want everybody to be comfortable at a pace that lets us finish feeling good! We will stay together as a group and won't leave anybody behind. Don't worry about the distance of the ride, it is just an hour. :-)
Start Time
Check in is at 5:30pm and we will roll out promptly at 6pm.
Age Requirement
We'll be riding on roads and riders must be 18 years old to join us.
