There's so much happening this week! Let's ride!
 Join us for the 2nd annual Elevator Brewery-sponsored ride to benefit YB! and Franklinton Cycle Works!
 We're teaming up with Green Columbus for this ride, which will start at at Hal & Al's, then hop to Shadowbox Live's Backstage Bistro and finally to St. James Tavern, where there will be delicious eats by Tatoheads.
 The theme for May's ride is Bike Month, so we'll be headed to some surprise bike-type locations around town! Get your exclusive May button!
 This is Summit UMC's 3rd annual event to honor bicyclists. Ride your bike to church for a message about the opportunities our time of transportation provides us -- as well as, of course, a blessing!
