WindsorEats is making sure there’s no reason to be bored this week.
We’ve got a great lineup of events scheduled over the next week to keep summer going strong. From bikes to restaurant weeks to food trucks, it’s going to be a doozy of a week!
Friday Night Lights
Friday, August 7, 2015
It’s time for another edition of our free Friday Night Lights group ride and as a result of popular demand, we’ll be making a visit to BV’s House of Pong!
We’ll be meeting in Willistead Park at 7:30pm before riding off at 8:00pm. In addition to House of Pong, we’ll be visiting Brew and Enzo’s.
If you haven’t been on a Friday Night Lights ride before, you’re missing out! Guests arrive with their bikes (and sometimes themselves) decked out in lights and glow sticks as we head out to experience Windsor’s night life. Our last ride had about 60 riders and we’re hoping you can help us surpass that this ride.
We spend approximately 45 minutes at each stop as riders get to have a drink or snack at each location or just chat it up with friends new and old.
Bikes & Beers Cycling Tour
Saturday, August 8, 2015
Come explore the city one beer at a time with our Bikes & Beers Cycling Tour. With Windsor’s craft beer scene experiencing a boom, come taste the flavours that are putting us on the map with beer lovers.
We’ll be making stops at Walkerville Brewery, Brew and Craft Heads.
