About this ride
**4th of JULY CELEBRATION – EZ RENTALS - CASUAL SOCIAL EXERCISE**
Red, White and Blue Celebration Bike tour around Newport Beach neighborhoods, Balboa, Ocean Trails and the Peninsula . Great for first timers, shy people, and expert riders. Are you ready for a beautiful fun day? Open for all levels and should have a basic level of fitness and be willing and able to ride as part of a supportive group. Well organized, informal, and fun exercising while socializing. We have scheduled stops along the way to ‘Group Up’ and hydrate. Bring any kind of bike or rent one. Rentals are EZ and delivered to the start - see end of this post.
**JUST SHOW UP**
Haven’t ridden a bike in a while? New to Meet Up or if this seems too challenging or uncertain – just come and do the first part. This is how the ride is designed. The point is to get out and show up for social exercise in the beauty of where we live. (EZ Bike Rentals – see end of post)
**A MICRODOSING LIFE RIDE.**
If you are in a hurry to get somewhere – this is not the ride for you because the journey IS the destination.
