Bikes @ Vienna 

Join Bikes @ Vienna staff on June 13 for a casual, fun ride from our shop to beautiful Meadowlark Gardens!  The ride is about 8 miles round trip, all on bike trails, plus we'll spend about a half-hour strolling (on foot) through Meadowlark's unique Korean Bell Garden.  The bike ride is free, but Meadowlark Gardens charges $5 general admission, $2.50 for ages 55+.  We will park our bikes at the Meadowlark's visitor center, so we recommend you bring a bike lock.

This is Bikes @ Vienna's second "Second Saturday" group ride of this season.  We plan to offer a ride on the second Saturday of each month through September, departing from the shop at 9:00 AM.  Cyclists of all abilities are welcome.  Part of bikes @ Vienna's unique "Ride to Discovery" series, each ride features at least one point of historical or cultural interest.

Note:  No-go in case of rain.
