New Belgium Urban Assault Bike Ride
In Forest Park
Register for this funky bike scavenger hunt involving street-smart riding, crazy obstacle courses, and a huge after party at www.urbanassaultride.com. The Urban Assault Ride™ is the biggest Bicycle Obstacle Event series in the nation! Here’s how it works: You and your teammate will set out on a city-wide quest for ‘checkpoints’ on your favorite two-wheeled steeds. At each checkpoint, you’ll drop your bikes and complete a funky/adventurous obstacle course, then remount your bikes and hit the streets for more. After your pedal-powered adventure, your team will cross the finish line and enter a massive celebration of New Belgium Brewing whimsical ways, bikes, and big wheels. The after party is just as much fun as the ride itself, thanks to the craziest raffle prize contest you’ll ever experience. Pick a partner and we’ll see you there!!

This class will remove the myth behind this 1oz. cup of joy, and open palettes to a world of taste hidden within a coffee bean. Kaldi’s top baristas will prepare espresso and cappuccino on their mobile kit and guide the student through making a quality shot.
