#CoffeeOutside is a growing movement to bring bikes, coffee, people, and the outdoors together. The idea is people bring coffee (or hot chocolate, cider, or tea), the means to make the coffee (such as pour-overs, french presses, mocha pots, or just instant coffee if that’s how you roll), and the means to heat water outside (camp stoves).

Meet at Woodland Park under the shelter near the playground at 10AM, then bike to the Henry Clay Estate at 10:15 to make coffee and socialize before rolling back to the start point.

Mon Mar 13
