Last Breakaway RVA of the season is Thursday

Breakaway RVA‘s last monthly social bike ride of the season is this Thursday, October 27th.

The East End route will be 8 miles long, and the ride starts at 5:45 PM:

Start your ride with us from Richmond’s East End! We’ll meet by 5:45pm at Jefferson Park (corner of Mosby St and Princess Anne Ave).

This month’s theme is a Halloween Costume Party! Come dressed up and we’ll have 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes for best (audience nominated) costume!

Our ride will cover 3 miles to our mid-point stop, where we’ll meet up with the other routes and learn about some cool Richmond history. Then, we’ll set off at a leisurely pace for a 5 mile ride to the final destination! This month’s end point will be about 4-5 miles from our start location.

If you have friends coming, make sure they register early as registration will close at 11:59PM the day before the ride, Wednesday, 10/26/16.

Don’t forget to hashtag your social media posts with #BreakawayRVA!
