Pedaling Ninjas* Social Ride
When: each Thursday at 6pm
Where: Harmony Natural Foods Co-op
302 Irvine Ave NW
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!

Biking Opportunities
30 Days of Biking
When: April 1 - 30, 2016
30 Days of Biking is a simple concept that was started in Minneapolis in 2010: pledge to ride your bike for 30 days and share your experiences online. That’s it. The “30 Days” in the name correspond to the 30 days of April, and it doesn’t matter how long, how far, or what kind of bike you ride. What matters is that you do ride. - See more at: http://30daysofbiking.com/
