Come out and join the Midnight Marauders for our first summer (OK so we fudged it by a couple days) ride. We will kick off the season by visiting some less-Marauded areas of the city and spreading the summer love. The planned end involves the preparation of some culinary delights over charcoal, so bring some delights to burn. This is a trailer friendly ride. We will be gathering at the Billy Goat, 430 N.
