Weekly Roundup: July 20-26

It's frikin hot outside ya'll. Since the GGC container operates fully outside with zero AC some weekends over the summer we might cut hours short depending on the heat index. Follow us on Instagram to stay tuned with any updates!

Now on to the good stuff, what's happening this week?

7/23 - Dusk MTB Ride with GGC + TORC

Meet at 7pm at the Centennial Campus Middle School. We will meet at the trail head and do a loop. Each loop at Lake Raleigh Woods is about a mile long so there will be opportunities to collect riders and do multiple laps or potentially to leave after any loop, depending on the ability level and time available to individual riders on each ride. Next week we will meet at 7am for the dawn ride.

7/24 - Independent Study Workshop at TBL Cafe

Join us for a drop in self guided art experience. Select watercolor, charcoal, oil, pastel, or collage, and create solo with friends! This is a beginner friendly event, all supplies will be provided, no tickets are necessary!!

7/26 - The Long Shot Ride at TBL Cafe

The Long Shot ride is led by Micaela Fox and Thomas Weybrecht coffee lovers and casual riders. The ride is intended to be a casual, longer-distance group ride exploring great coffee beyond Raleigh. Designed for riders of all levels, it’s a low-pressure way to go a little farther, try new routes, and connect with others along the way. We roll at an easy pace, stick together, and always have a solid coffee stop waiting for us. These week they will be riding over to Milos in Morrisville!
