The week we’ve heard about alllll summer is finally here: the Pope!
Ready for the best events? You can still have fun, amongst all the road closures and more.
Pope Weekend (September 25 – 27, 2015)
PopeRide
Saturday, September 26 at 10 AM / Porch at 30th Street Station, 2955 Market St
With the Pope in town, they’re shutting down a good portion of the city, including a bunch of major routes. A group of cyclists are celebrating with a ride! Speed will be leisurely, aiming to keep it below 10. We’re having a good time, not a race. See the Facebook post for ride rules.
