Come join us on Saturday, July 26, 2008, for the 2nd Annual Ride to Pierogi Fest.

Located in Whiting, Indiana, Pierogi Fest is a celebration of that darling dumpling originating in eastern Europe. It was started by a group of friends while eating breakfast (probably vegan-style) at Dimitri's Cake and Steak. They didn't choose the Kielbasa, and (luckily) they didn't choose Charnina (aka. ducks blood soup); instead, they chose the lonely dumpling in an effort to promote good, healthy eating throughout the environmentally friendly town of Whiting, Indiana. So come join us at Buckingham Fountain on Saturday, July 26, 2008. We will take the following route at a "touring" pace (average 12-14mph) that follows this route:

Riders should meet at Buckingham Fountain at 11am. The ride leaves at 11:15am, sharp. If you miss us, meet us on the way down. If you're on the South Side and do not wish to ride north to the fountain, contact me to make arrangements. Don't be shy; the pierogi is your friend, and riding a bike to the fest with 1, 3, or 27 speeds with coaster, hand, or endo-brake always makes them taste better.

This ride will be more exciting if you wear a helmet, sunglasses, and sunscreen. A lock is required!
