⛺️ Kidical Mass hits the trails

School is out, and it’s time to hit the trails. If you’ve got any two-wheeled tots looking to get out for some adventure time, then this event is for you. Join a huge group of families as you bike your way through town and set up camp for an overnight campout. Along the way, there’ll be stops for lunch, time to explore the parks, a potluck-style dinner, and a pancake breakfast after spending a night under the stars.
