Bemidji Parks and Recreation would like to invite the community to participate in Cranksgiving.
Founded in 1999 by New York bike messengers, the event is a combination of a scavenger hunt, bike ride, and food drive. Participants bicycle to one of 4 area grocery stores, purchase certain food items, and relay it by bicycle to the starting point. The cost of this event is FREE, but please bring around $20.00 to purchase items off of the scavenger hunt list. Also make sure to bring a bag to carry your items along the ride. All food purchased will be donated to the Community Food Shelf.
All registered participants who complete the scavenger hunt will be entered into a drawing to win fun prizes. The first 24 people who register for the Cranksgiving will receive a free drawstring backpack.
Registration is free, but participants are asked to register ahead of time: http://bemidji.maxgalaxy.net/Registration.aspx?ActivityID=565

Pedaling Ninjas* Social Ride
When: each Thursday at 6pm
Where: Harmony Natural Foods Co-op

Bemidji
Pedaling Ninjas gather for a casual bike ride each Thursday evenings @ 6pm. We ride bikes for about 5-10 miles each time at an easy pace. We meet to enjoy the weather, trails, and each others' company. We love new people, so even if you haven't biked for a while, join us for a ride!
Our group likes to be social after the bike ride, and we usually patronize local businesses. The first Thursday of each month is a discounted pint at Bemidji Brewing for Ninjas, and each third Thursday is an ice cream discount at Big River Scoop. For more info on a particular Thursday ride, go to the Pedaling Ninjas facebook page.
*Please note: You do not need to be a ninja to join. If you're interested in riding bikes and enjoying Bemidji, this is your group!
