Palisade:

Join us for the Palisade Afterglow Party at the Palisade Brewery.  If you are coming from outside of Palisade and would like to ride your bike to the party, but find the commute to be too long or intimidating, join Palisade Rec at Palisade High School for a group park and ride.  We will meet riders at 5:30pm on the east end of the PHS parking lot.  The group will leave no later than 5:45pm to head to the Brewery. The event will feature drink and food specials for cyclists, plus great door prizes for riders!  Don’t forget your helmet and bike lock.  

Contact Sarah Brooks at 464-5602 if you have questions.
