JOIN US FOR OUR ANNUAL WHITE ELEPHANT RIDE!
Wrap and bring along a gift valued at no more than $20 and we'll ride somewhere fun (perhaps Mario Macaruso's very own IronFlow Training?!?) for a raucous gift exchange.
If you've never played White Elephant before, check out these rules to see how it all works.
We meet at 6 p.m., we roll at 6:30 p.m. (or thereabouts).
On the second Thursday of every month, led by Mario Macaruso and Patrick Stephenson of 30 Days of Biking, we meet up at the fire pit outside Surly Brewing Company and go for a friendly paced social ride.
In the winter, these ~7–10 mph rides are about 8 miles long, and every participant gets one free beer or N-A beverage courtesy of Surly Brewing Company.
Riders of all speeds and experience levels are welcome, no one's left behind, and you can count on high-fives galore.

Location: Milkweed Books, 1011 Washington Ave S
Milkweed Books welcomes author and translator Katie Shireen Assef for a reading from Black Forest (Valérie Mréjen, Deep Vellum) in the bookstore.
FREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
A man decides he is old enough. A woman returns early from a lovers' retreat to a bottle of pills at home. And how should you explain the nuances of contemporary Paris to your mother, twenty – five years dead? Valérie Mréjen's Black Forest is a book of mourning that isn't morbid or sentimental, but rather an elegant and wryly humorous brace against the void. With a paradoxically detached intimacy, Mréjen follows death's dark and twisted path through the lives it touches, wringing out every possible meaning—or non–meaning— along the way. A writer at the height of her career who draws comparisons to Georges Perec and Nathalie Sarraute, Mréjen has cemented her status as an auteur with a singular voice, guiding us through the Black Forest of ghosts that populate her subconscious.
Time: 5p
Location: American Swedish Institute, 2600 Park Avenue
