The theme for the June bike ride is “the beach!” Wear your beachy garb, decorate your bike, or just come and ride. We will cycle 6 miles around Decatur neighborhoods, then afterward we will visit the Summer in the City event on the Square for food and fun. (The after event is optional, of course.)

The first 20 people will receive a lighted lei to wear on the ride!

Meet in front of the Decatur Recreation Center and be ready to put wheels down at 6:30 pm. Be sure to bring water and a helmet. Helmets are required for all city sponsored rides.

Check back here for updates in the event of inclement weather. Questions? Contact cheryl.burnette@decaturga.com.

Hope to see you on Friday!

ARRRRGust Third Friday Bike Ride is Friday!

Join Decatur Active Living for the monthly Third Friday Bike Ride on August 18 at 6 pm. In August we will “ride like a pirate!” Costumes and/or props are encouraged. The first 20 riders to show up will receive a special pirate bandanna!

Meet in front of the Decatur Recreation Center and be ready to roll at 6 pm for this 5-6 mile ride around Decatur neighborhoods. After the ride we will visit a local watering hole for refreshment and fun.

This is a slow-paced social, no-drop ride. Riders should be familiar with how to use their gears and be able to ride up small hills. It’s Georgia and hard to avoid them!

Helmets are required to City sponsored rides. Lights are strongly encouraged.

October 17, 2014 by Leave a comment

As always there is plenty to do in Decatur on a nice Fall weekend. Here are some ideas to keep you active:

Friday, October 17:
Decatur Third Friday Fun Bike Ride, 6:30 pm meet at Church Street MARTA ready to ride. More info is here.

Saturday, October 18:
Bike Registration and Safety Event at the Decatur Housing Authority, 10 am until Noon. Register your bicycle witih the Decatur Police, ride the children’s safety course and learn signals, lane changing and more. For more information contact jennifer.ross@decaturga.com or cheryl.burnette@decaturga.com.

Fairies in the Garden, Woodlands Garden, 2 until 5 pm. Information is here. We went to this in the past and it was awesome!! Not only do you feel like you have left the city while wandering the garden, but the little Fairie Homes are so creative and stoke the imagination. Consider walking or biking over as parking is limited. Or park at Westchester School and walk over.

Decatur Craft Beer Festival, Information is here. I believe there are still some VIP tickets available.

Sunday, October 19:
RideWell Bike Festival at Holy Trinity Parish, 1 pm until 6 pm. Information is here.

What else do you know of that is happening in Decatur this weekend? Feel free to comment…..
