My awesome friend Shane mentioned this ride to me the other day, and the super sweet route they’re taking around with the Joybox Express is going to stop by the shop on the back end, so if you can’t make it to the ride (information from facebook below), but happen to be in the Corridor Friday afternoon around maybe 3/3:30, maybe swing by the shop and see if you don’t here music by a guy who hauled a piano here on his bike (among others).
