It’s Spring! Please join us for a fun ride between two popular vegan destinations in the Columbia MD area, **Brewing Good** vegan coffee shop with baked goods, including doughnuts and **Great Sage** vegan restaurant. We will be riding on a mix of wooded trails, and neighborhood and back roads. There are some hills, making this more of an intermediate than a beginner ride.
We will be starting at Brewing Good at 10:00am and ride to Great Sage where we can relax with brunch or the standard full menu (and outside seating is available).
We will return to Brewing Good on a different route, mostly down hill, so the ride will be a loop and not just back and forth on the same route.
Brewing Good will be the ride end destination and we can get coffee and baked goods in a relaxing, historic mill setting.
