THE WHEELY FUN CLUB NEWS!

Rides for this week: Monday August 15 to Sunday August 21

Posted on | No Comments

Reminder that Evening rides begin at 6:00pm.  Also, some of the morning rides may start at 9am.  Be sure to check the start times!

This week we are going to have some fun on Sunday with our first ever Ride and Pie Potluck! It’s exactly what it sounds like—we’ll ride for 90 minutes (45 minutes out, 45 minutes back) and then we’ll all share Pies potluck style outside near the sheltered picnic table at the Grafton Arena. You can credit Richard inspiring this—all his talk about pie!  Here’s what you need to bring to the Pie Potluck:

  • A pie to share! It can be any kind of pie—dessert pie, chicken pot pie, meat pie…..anything goes, it’s all about treating ourselves
  • Be sure to include a knife and a pie-serving utensil with your creation
  • Bring your own utensils & your favourite drink
  • Bring a lawn chair 

NOTE: We have a number of vegetarians in our Club—it would be much appreciated if you could please identify if your pie is vegetarian-friendly
