[Dervaes]

C.I.C.L.E. + Path to Freedom = Harvest Bike Ride and Potluck Social : Live
Music from Triple Chicken Foot

 

November is a perfect time for acorn soups, warm casseroles, pumpkin pies,
bike riding over fallen crunchy leaves, kick ball in the park and an Urban
Expedition's Harvest Ride and Potluck Social. On Saturday, November 15, at
11:30 AM, C.I.C.L.E. is excited to team up with the renowned urban
homestead, Path To Freedom, for an incredible neighborhood bike ride,
potluck and gathering.

 

Los Angeles is teeming with diverse minds and culture, and yet despite our
differences in background and perspectives, we can still come together for
something reminiscent of a bygone era--when community was the most valuable
commodity. November's Urban Expeditions is one such gathering--packed full
of good old fashioned good times.

 

Start the day by decorating your bike and riding an easy-paced Urban
Expeditions bike ride around the neighborhood. After the ride, get ready for
the "100-mile potluck" challenge, where potluck contestants will compete
against each other for the prestigious "most local dish" award. Next we'll
enjoy the fruits of the harvest as we feast on local and homegrown
delectable potluck delights. And there's nothing like a bit of fun after a
good meal. Be sure to bring your musical instruments (if you play) and take
part in an impromptu jam session. Get creative and use your brain playing
"sustainable charades". Enjoy kickball, a scavenger hunt, volleyball, gunny
sack races and being a kid again--and make sure to bring the kids!

 

So grab your bikes, your friends, and your family and come celebrate with
the C.I.C.L.E. folks and the revolutionary modern day urban homesteaders
from Path to Freedom. This event is free.

 

Special thanks to our event sponsors: REI, Whole Foods, Armstrong Nursery
(South Pasadena) and Clif Bar.
