Tweet: Any @railsconf attendees interested in a bike ride sometime next week? I'd love to show some folks around the trails along the river. We can keep the pace light. Willing to help figure out equipment rentals for out of town folks. | |

Date/Time: TBD, leaning towards Tuesday evening after day closing keynote (6:30ish?) | |
Distance: 10-15 miles | |
Routes: | |
Hyatt Regency to Minnehaha Falls (possible stop at Stone Arch) - 15 miles: https://goo.gl/maps/whujrFfT2AwBePWp9 | |

Thoughts: | |
Conf is Tues-Thurs. Out of town people likely coming in Sun/Mon, leaving Thurs/Fri. | |
Weather forecast is not ideal. Highs in mid-50's. Rain likely Wed/Thurs. | |
Logistically might be better to target beginning of week due to other activities that happen after conference. | |
Sponsorships could possibly cover cost (or part of the cost) or rentals. | |
Concerns: | |
Ferrying gear to hotel start (or wherever we meet up) | |
Will be dusky or dark heading back, would be nice to have lights and reflective gear | |
People riding out but not being able to ride back (weak riders) |
